About 5 Cork Street
5 Cork Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 2AN). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in June 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).
Held since May 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. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 sits 87.3% above the 2007 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 57.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
