About 8 Galashiels Road
8 Galashiels Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR4 8LE). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 553 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
