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. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 51 m² it's 22.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 is 17.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 173.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
