How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6a is modelled from its 303 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 7HY. 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.

About 6a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6a is a semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 7HY). It has a recorded floor area of 303 m² (around 3259 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 24 years, with the last transfer in April 2002. At 303 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £493,000 sits 507.9% above the 2002 sale of £81,100. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£25/sq ft) was about 86% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 6a is modelled from its 303 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 7HY. 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 6a. 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 6a was lodged in July 2010 at band E and expired in July 2020, 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. 8 applications are matched to 6a. 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 7HY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6a is in council tax band G. 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.
