About 1 Carlbury Vale
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Carlbury Vale is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Piercebridge, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3SL). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1339 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a G (score 10), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 21). Main heating runs on house coal. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 sits 251.3% above the 1995 sale of £80,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused.

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 1 Carlbury Vale is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3SL. 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 1 Carlbury Vale. 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 1 Carlbury Vale was lodged in March 2010 at band G and expired in March 2020, 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. 3 applications are matched to 1 Carlbury Vale. 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 3SL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Carlbury Vale 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.
