Overview

About 24 Essex Grove

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

24 Essex Grove is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR3 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 is 45.5% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 18.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. At 67 m² it's 28% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 16 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 24 Essex Grove is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR3 1BG. 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 24 Essex Grove. 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 24 Essex Grove was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 24 Essex Grove. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR3 1BG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
24 Essex Grove 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.
