About 31 Valley Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 Valley Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Hartlepool (TS26 0AL). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 103 m² it sits well below the postcode median (172 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 is 25.9% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 58.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in March 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 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 31 Valley Drive is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TS26 0AL. 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 31 Valley Drive. 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 31 Valley Drive was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 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. 1 application is matched to 31 Valley Drive. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TS26 0AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 31 Valley Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
