About Flat 5
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 £123,000 is 85.5% 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.
