About 29 The Post Office
29 The Post Office is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). At 66 m² this is the 9th smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–122 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 31 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 14.4% below the 2006 sale of £160,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 51.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since August 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
