About 8c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8c is a mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR2 8JA). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 73 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (73–274 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 sits 293.6% above the 2001 sale of £27,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£36/sq ft) was about 59.5% below the postcode norm. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (198 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).

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 8c is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8c. 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 8c was lodged in July 2013 at band E and expired in July 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8c. 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
- 8c 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.
