Postcodes

The Darlington council area covers all or most of these postcode districts: DL1, DL2, DL3, DL98. Districts on a boundary can be split, so check the full postcode.

What you'll need

Your details, once: name, date of birth, home address, phone and email.
For each property: the address, type of home and bedrooms, whether it's let, and any freeholder or managing agent.
If it's let: how many people and households live there, any council licence, the rent, and copies of the gas safety record, the electrical report (EICR) and the EPC. These can follow up to 28 days after you register.
