About Echo Building
Echo Building is a mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 1XD). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2017) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. Main heating runs on electricity. At 58 m² this is the 2nd 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, with this unit at the top.
Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 13% below the 2007 sale of £123,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 58 m² it's 25.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 90 EPCs).
