About 20 Cleveland Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Cleveland Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 7HE). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2068 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 192 m² it's 16.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (165 m² median across 20 EPCs). Across 2009–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 is 26.8% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 19.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 20 Cleveland Avenue is modelled from its 192 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 7HE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 20 Cleveland Avenue. 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 20 Cleveland Avenue was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 20 Cleveland Avenue. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 7HE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Cleveland Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
