8 Polperro Close, Ryhope, Sunderland, SR2 0YN

8 Polperro Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Ryhope, Sunderland, Sunderland (SR2 0YN). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 1997 — that's 29 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. At 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 310% above the 1997 sale of £100,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 68.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
