Overview

About 15 Elms Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

15 Elms Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL3 7PY). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since January 2004 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 56.7% above the 2004 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 41.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 92 m² it sits well below the postcode median (173 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 Elms Road is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 7PY. 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 15 Elms Road. 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 15 Elms Road was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 15 Elms Road. 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 7PY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Elms Road is in council tax band C. 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.
