Overview

About 8 Beechside

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

8 Beechside is a four-bedroom detached house in Staindrop, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3PE). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Beechside is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3PE. 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 8 Beechside. 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 Beechside was lodged in June 2013 at band E and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Beechside. 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 2 schools and 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 3PE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Beechside 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.
