Overview

About 1 The Post Office

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 The Post Office is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 34 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 1 The Post Office (34–71 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since June 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 129.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 The Post Office is modelled from its 34 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR1 1BH. 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 1 The Post Office. 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 1 The Post Office was lodged in December 2022 at band E and is valid until December 2032. 3 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 1 The Post Office. 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 1BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 The Post Office is in council tax band C. 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.
