Overview

About 3 West View

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

3 West View is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2010–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 101.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
