Overview

About 278 St Lukes Road

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

278 St Lukes Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR4 0AL). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 31.6% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 25.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2022 for £98,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
