About 14 The Oaks West
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 The Oaks West is a mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR2 8HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 243 m² (around 2616 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2002, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. At 243 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

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 14 The Oaks West is modelled from its 243 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 8HZ. 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 14 The Oaks West. 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 14 The Oaks West was lodged in April 2016 at band F and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 14 The Oaks West. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR2 8HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 The Oaks West is in council tax band D. 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.
