Overview

About 8 North Terrace

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 North Terrace is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3EE). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 170 m² it's 27.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (133 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1995–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £207,000 is 18.3% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 18.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
