Overview

About 5 Thornhill Crescent

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

5 Thornhill Crescent is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR2 7AD). It has a recorded floor area of 310 m² (around 3337 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 310 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Thornhill Crescent is modelled from its 310 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 7AD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Thornhill Crescent. 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 5 Thornhill Crescent was lodged in May 2025 at band F and is valid until May 2035. 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 5 Thornhill Crescent. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR2 7AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Thornhill Crescent 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.
