About Flat 5
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 5 is an end-of-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 8th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–59 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.
Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 is 84.2% below the 2022 sale of £850,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. Last sale on file: £850,000 in July 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat 5 is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR1 1AE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 5. 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 Flat 5 was lodged in September 2021 at band E and is valid until September 2031. 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 Flat 5. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR1 1AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 5 is in council tax band A. 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.
