Overview

About 3 Margate Street

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

3 Margate Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR3 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 652 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (98 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £121,000 is 12% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 108.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold February 2021 for £108,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 3 Margate Street is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR3 1BQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Margate Street. 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 3 Margate Street was lodged in August 2011 at band E and expired in August 2021, 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 3 Margate Street. 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 1BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Margate Street 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.
