Overview

About 21 The Post Office

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

21 The Post Office is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2012); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since August 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. 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 (£183/sq ft) was about 22.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
