12 Barleycorn Place is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 2QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 is 14.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 100.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
