How the estimate is made

About 20 Barnes Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Barnes Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL3 9BH). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 is 49.3% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 23.2% below the postcode norm.

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 20 Barnes Road is modelled from its 157 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 9BH. 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 20 Barnes Road. 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 20 Barnes Road was lodged in June 2010 at band D and expired in June 2020, 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. 3 applications are matched to 20 Barnes Road. 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 9BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Barnes Road is in council tax band E. 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.
