SR2 8 sold prices: where the market stands

In the SR2 8 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £67,200, from 22 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £89,700, sitting well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.

What a square metre costs in SR2 8

The last five years of sales put SR2 8 at roughly £1,030 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SR2 8 76% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical SR2 8 home went from £25,800 in 1995 to £67,200 in 2026, roughly 2.6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 20%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 47% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+43.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−23.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.

Transaction volumes

SR2 8 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 226 sales a year before the financial crisis and 67 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

How SR2 8 trades

This is a thin market: 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the SR2 district median, SR2 8 sits 54% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What homes rent for around SR2 8

For renting purposes SR2 8 sits in Sunderland. The ONS average private rent there is £701 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £519 a month here against £1,073 for four or more bedrooms.

Set against the £67,200 median sold price, £701 a month is £8,412 a year, a gross yield of 12.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Common questions on SR2 8 (Ashbrooke)

Will SR2 8 prices rise from here?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
