About 8 Carlbury Crescent
8 Carlbury Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 9QL). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2019) 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 February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 87 m² it's 19.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (108 m² median across 10 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 28.8% above the 2009 sale price.
