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 £227,000 is 29.7% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 29.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 North Terrace is modelled from its 170 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3EE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 8 North Terrace. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 North Terrace was lodged in September 2012 at band F and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 North Terrace. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 3EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 North Terrace is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
