About 21 Dorchester Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Dorchester Drive is a semi-detached house in Hartlepool (TS24 9QY). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 71). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since April 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 sits 244.9% above the 1997 sale of £49,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 67.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
