About 17 Galsworthy Road
17 Galsworthy Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR4 8JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. 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 (60 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 31.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 28.5% above the 2007 sale price.
