About 7 The Close
7 The Close is a detached house in Whitburn, Sunderland, Sunderland (SR6 7JN). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £607,000 sits 51.8% above the 2007 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£243/sq ft) was about 20.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 153 m² it's 29.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (118 m² median across 6 EPCs).
