About 16 The Post Office
16 The Post Office is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. Other recorded features include a balcony.
Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 is 16.2% below the 2008 sale of £182,500, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Held since January 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
