Overview

About 29 Orkney Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

29 Orkney Drive is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Ryhope, Sunderland, Sunderland (SR2 0TE). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1376 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 is 12.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 21.1% below the postcode norm. Most recent transfer: July 2021 at £180,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
