How the estimate is made
The estimate for 172a is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR6 0HQ. 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.

About 172a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
172a is an end-of-terrace house in Sunderland (SR6 0HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 308 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 29 m² this is the 9th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 17–199 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 43 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1996–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 125.4% above the 2020 sale of £67,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 148.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 172a is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR6 0HQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 172a. 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 172a was lodged in January 2010 at band D and expired in January 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 172a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR6 0HQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
