About 1 Chapel House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Chapel House is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sunderland (SR4 9QU). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–96 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since September 2008 — that's 18 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 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (57 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 is 15.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£262/sq ft) was about 114.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Chapel House is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SR4 9QU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Chapel House. 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 1 Chapel House was lodged in July 2022 at band C and is valid until July 2032. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Chapel House. 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. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR4 9QU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Chapel House is in council tax band A. 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.
