About 7 Ainsley Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Ainsley Grove is a semi-detached house in Faverdale, Darlington, Darlington (DL3 0GD). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 57 m² it's 23% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 16 EPCs).
