How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8b is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 8JA. 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.

About 8b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8b is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR2 8JA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 74 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 73–274 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 10 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since February 2004 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1999–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 26% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 sits 58.7% above the 2004 sale of £69,950. At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (198 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 8b is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 8JA. 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 8b. 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 8b was lodged in August 2014 at band D and expired in August 2024, 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 8b. 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 8JA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8b 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.
