Overview

About 29 Somerset Street

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

29 Somerset Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR3 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 is 44.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 37.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
