Overview

About 8 Carleton Grove

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

8 Carleton Grove is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 9QY). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 is 15.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£337/sq ft) was about 37.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2021 at £185,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Carleton Grove is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 9QY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Carleton Grove. 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 8 Carleton Grove was lodged in May 2014 at band E and expired in May 2024, 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 8 Carleton Grove. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 9QY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Carleton Grove 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.
