Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL3 6TA). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 88 m² this is the 16th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–163 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 23 units on file.

At 88 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2004. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
