Overview

About 16 Chester Mews

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

16 Chester Mews is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR4 7HX). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the 9th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 29 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in May 2008. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £102,000 is 20% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 96.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 39 m² it's 20.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (49 m² median across 28 EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Chester Mews is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR4 7HX. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 16 Chester Mews. 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 16 Chester Mews was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Chester Mews. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR4 7HX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Chester Mews 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.
