About 12 Fern Street
12 Fern Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR4 6AL). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 651 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 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. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £102,000 is 30.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 82% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
