About 5 Barbary Drive
5 Barbary Drive is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR6 0RB). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 362 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£442/sq ft) was about 237.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
