About 21 The Post Office
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.

Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 10.6% below the 2006 sale of £132,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying.
