About 14 Chilton Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Chilton Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 8RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. At 63 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–163 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (51 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 14 Chilton Close is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 8RQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 14 Chilton Close. 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 14 Chilton Close was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 14 Chilton Close. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 8RQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Chilton Close 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.
