4 Birkdale Avenue, Sunderland, SR6 8AT

4 Birkdale Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR6 8AT). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since July 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 95 m² it sits well below the postcode median (146 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 is 20% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 28.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
