Overview

About 2 Ash Tree Close

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

2 Ash Tree Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL3 8SN). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 22.5% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 18.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
