About The Old Library 11 12
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Old Library 11 12 is a detached house in Sunderland (SR2 0QT). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across The Old Library 11 12 (29–81 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.
At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: May 2022 at £80,000.

Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 46.2% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 262.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 The Old Library 11 12 is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, its 13 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 0QT. 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. 13 sales are recorded for The Old Library 11 12. 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 The Old Library 11 12 was lodged in May 2019 at band E and is valid until May 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to The Old Library 11 12. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR2 0QT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Old Library 11 12 is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
