Echo Building is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR1 1XD). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. At 129 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Echo Building (48–129 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 89 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 is 19.8% below the 2007 sale of £158,326, 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 (£114/sq ft) was about 40.4% below the postcode norm. Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 90 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
