How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Irene Avenue is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 9SZ.

About 1 Irene Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Irene Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR2 9SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 sits 51.5% above the 2017 sale of £130,000. At 87 m² it's 27% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in November 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 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 1 Irene Avenue is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR2 9SZ. 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 1 Irene Avenue. 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 1 Irene Avenue was lodged in January 2016 at band E and expired in January 2026, 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 1 Irene Avenue. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR2 9SZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Irene Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
