18 Dartington Close, Sunderland, SR4 9BW

18 Dartington Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Sunderland (SR4 9BW). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1422 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £183,000 sits 59.5% above the 2009 sale of £114,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 44.9% below the postcode norm.
