About 56a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 37.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 58.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 56a is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 8QH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 56a. 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 56a was lodged in February 2022 at band E and is valid until February 2032. 2 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 56a. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR2 8QH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
