About 2 Forster Street
2 Forster Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sunderland (SR6 0JU). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 21.7% above the 2008 sale price.
