The Mowbray is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1PS). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2020) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 47 m² this is the 5th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in The Mowbray, where floor areas span 33–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.

Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 13.3% below the 2008 sale of £135,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£267/sq ft) was about 39.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs).
