Overview

About 1 Chandos Street

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

1 Chandos Street is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 6QX). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. At 63 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–90 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 37 units on file.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 156% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 1 Chandos Street is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 6QX. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Chandos Street. 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 Chandos Street was lodged in June 2019 at band E and is valid until June 2029. 4 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 1 Chandos Street. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 6QX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Chandos Street 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.
