Overview

About 7 South View

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

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 (109 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 £442,000 sits 138.9% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 59% below the postcode norm.

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 7 South View is modelled from its 301 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3EG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 7 South View. 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 7 South View was lodged in June 2009 at band G and expired in June 2019, 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 7 South View. 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 8 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 3EG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 South View is in council tax band E. 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.
