About 35 Southend Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
35 Southend Avenue is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL3 7HT). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a G (score 16), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2011); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (132 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 is 31% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£113/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in August 2015.

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 35 Southend Avenue is modelled from its 202 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 7HT. 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 35 Southend 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 35 Southend Avenue was lodged in December 2015 at band G and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 8 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 35 Southend 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 7HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
