About 9 Orkney Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Orkney Drive is a semi-detached house in Ryhope, Sunderland, Sunderland (SR2 0TE). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 734 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 sits 200% above the 1999 sale of £49,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 59.8% below the postcode norm. At 68 m² it's 20.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 7 EPCs).

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 9 Orkney Drive is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 0TE. 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 9 Orkney Drive. 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 9 Orkney Drive was lodged in July 2009 at band D and expired in July 2019, 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. None is matched to 9 Orkney Drive. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR2 0TE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Orkney Drive is in council tax band C. 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.
