About 17 Altrincham Tower
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Altrincham Tower is a semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR3 3AP). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–64 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (71 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £104,000 sits 52.9% above the 2007 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 77% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it's 27.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 47 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 17 Altrincham Tower is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR3 3AP. 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 17 Altrincham Tower. 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 17 Altrincham Tower was lodged in May 2016 at band C and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Altrincham Tower. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR3 3AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Altrincham Tower 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.
