About 12 Nicholas Avenue
12 Nicholas Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Whitburn, Sunderland, Sunderland (SR6 7DB). It has a recorded floor area of 218 m² (around 2346 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 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 218 m² the property is well over the postcode median (162 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £595,000 is 35.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm.
