Overview

About 8 Dumfries Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Dumfries Close is a detached house in Sunderland (SR4 8RR). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 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 111 m² it's 25% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (148 m² median across 6 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 is 16.8% above the 2007 sale price.
