Overview

About 4 Essex Grove

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

4 Essex Grove is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR3 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 is 47.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 19.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in September 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
