About 59 Nickstream Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
59 Nickstream Lane is an end-of-terrace house in Darlington (DL3 0DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since May 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 sits 254.1% above the 2003 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£34/sq ft) was about 67.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 102 m² it's 21.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 29 EPCs).

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 59 Nickstream Lane is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 0DQ. 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 59 Nickstream Lane. 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 59 Nickstream Lane was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 59 Nickstream Lane. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 0DQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 59 Nickstream Lane is in council tax band A. 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.
