56a, Cairo Street, Sunderland, SR2 8QH
About 56a
56a is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sunderland (SR2 8QH). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 43 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £108,000 is 27.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 61.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
