About 29 Park Place East
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
29 Park Place East is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR2 8EE). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 57 m² this is the 14th smallest of 49 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–343 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (December 2017) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in June 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.
Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 sits 70.8% above the 2022 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 87.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2009. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Most recent transfer: February 2022 at £65,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 29 Park Place East is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 8EE. 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 29 Park Place East. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Council tax band
- 29 Park Place East is in council tax band A. 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.
