Overview

About 3 Abbotsford Grove

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

3 Abbotsford Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Sunderland (SR2 7JS). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1863 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2001–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £399,000 is 45.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 24.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. At 173 m² it's 26.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (235 m² median across 3 EPCs).

Method

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 3 Abbotsford Grove is modelled from its 173 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 7JS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Abbotsford Grove. 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 3 Abbotsford Grove was lodged in January 2012 at band D and expired in January 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 3 Abbotsford Grove. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR2 7JS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Abbotsford Grove is in council tax band F. 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.
