About 17 Dumbarton Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Dumbarton Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR4 8RP). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 58 m² this is the 6th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band.
Across 2004–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £102,000 is 11.3% below the 2006 sale of £115,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 18.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since September 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 17 Dumbarton Close is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR4 8RP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 17 Dumbarton Close. 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 17 Dumbarton Close was lodged in May 2018 at band C and is valid until May 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Dumbarton Close. 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.

- Council tax band
- 17 Dumbarton Close is in council tax band B. 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.
