About 69a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
69a is a mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL3 7BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 228 m² (around 2454 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in May 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 228 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £278,000 sits 306.6% above the 1997 sale of £68,375. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£28/sq ft) was about 78.9% below the postcode norm.

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 69a is modelled from its 228 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 7BQ. 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 69a. 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 69a was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 69a. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 7BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
