Echo Building, Apartment 1, West Wear Street, Sunderland, SR1 1XD

Echo Building is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1XD). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 82 m² this is the 70th smallest of 89 units on EPC record in Echo Building, where floor areas span 48–129 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 89 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 32.1% below the 2007 sale of £172,200, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
