How the estimate is made

About 1 Whitemeadows
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Whitemeadows is a four-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL3 8SR). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 190 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £460,000 is 31.4% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 15% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.

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 1 Whitemeadows is modelled from its 190 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 8SR. 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 1 Whitemeadows. 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 1 Whitemeadows was lodged in June 2016 at band C and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Whitemeadows. 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 8SR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Whitemeadows is in council tax band F. 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.
