About 5 Pit Row
5 Pit Row is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR3 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
