About 1 Oakdene Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Oakdene Avenue is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Darlington (DL3 7HR). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 12 years since the last transfer (August 2014). Across 1995–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 is 20.2% above the 2014 sale price.

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 1 Oakdene Avenue is modelled from its 186 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 7HR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Oakdene 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 1 Oakdene Avenue was lodged in May 2014 at band E and expired in May 2024, 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 1 Oakdene 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 7HR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Oakdene Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
