Overview

About 16 Ayton Drive

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

16 Ayton Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 8DN). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 2011–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £292,000 is 27% above the 2016 sale price.
