About 13 Fern Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Fern Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR4 6AL). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62).
Held since January 2008 — 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. At 84 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 is 21.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 38.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 13 Fern Street is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR4 6AL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 13 Fern 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 13 Fern Street was lodged in July 2019 at band E and is valid until July 2029. 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 13 Fern 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR4 6AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 Fern 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.
