How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Stobb Hill is modelled from its 238 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3EP. 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.

About 3 Stobb Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Stobb Hill is a semi-detached house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3EP). It has a recorded floor area of 238 m² (around 2562 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 97). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 56.3% above the 2007 sale of £270,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Stobb Hill is modelled from its 238 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3EP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Stobb Hill. 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 3 Stobb Hill was lodged in December 2015 at band B and expired in December 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 3 Stobb Hill. 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 3EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Stobb Hill is in council tax band D. 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.
