About 3 Dumfries Close
3 Dumfries Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Sunderland (SR4 8RR). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 177 m² the property is well over the postcode median (132 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 is 15.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 21.9% below the postcode norm. Most recent transfer: February 2021 at £242,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
