About 7 South View
7 South View is a six-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3EG). It has a recorded floor area of 301 m² (around 3240 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 34). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 301 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 122.7% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 50.1% below the postcode norm.
