About 8 Westbourne Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Westbourne Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR1 3SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Westbourne Road is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR1 3SQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Westbourne Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Westbourne Road was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Westbourne Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR1 3SQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
