How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Dartford Road is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR6 8HF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 3 Dartford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Dartford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR6 8HF). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2013–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 is 29.2% above the 2019 sale price. Most recent transfer: May 2019 at £184,950.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Dartford Road is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR6 8HF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Dartford Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Dartford Road was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Dartford Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SR6 8HF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Dartford Road is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
