Overview

About 3 Elms Road

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

3 Elms Road is a semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 7PY). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (April 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 209 m² it's 24.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (168 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). On the market in July 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 is 19.3% above the 2014 sale price.
