About 33a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
33a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sunderland (SR2 8RU). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 79 m² this is the 5th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–180 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (27 versus a best of 72).
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2014–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at -23.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 sits 626.7% above the 2018 sale of £15,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£18/sq ft) was about 80.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.

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 33a is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 8RU. 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 33a. 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 33a was lodged in February 2013 at band F and expired in February 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 33a. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR2 8RU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 33a 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.
