About 15 Bower Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Bower Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR6 8JA). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1995–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £201,000 sits 52.3% above the 2014 sale of £132,000. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in April 2014.

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 15 Bower Street is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR6 8JA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 15 Bower Street. 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 15 Bower Street was lodged in August 2014 at band D and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 15 Bower Street. 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 8JA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Bower Street 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.
