Chapelgarth market report SR3 1, Sunderland

The SR3 1 (Chapelgarth) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 4,378 registered sales in SR3 1 (Sunderland) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: the middle 2026 sale in SR3 1 (Sunderland) came in at £160,000, out of 28 registered, down 11% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £172,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,960 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 4,378 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.

SR3 1 is one sector of SR3 (Sunderland): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Today's SR3 1 prices, from the sold record

In the SR3 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £160,000, from 28 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £172,900, sitting modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

Price per square metre in SR3 1

The last five years of sales put SR3 1 at roughly £1,960 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.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SR3 1 trades 44% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical SR3 1 home went from £50,600 in 1995 to £160,000 in 2026, roughly 3.2 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 45%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2010 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−24.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

How many homes change hands in SR3 1

Over the last twelve months of data, 28 sales completed in SR3 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 176 sales a year before the financial crisis and 139 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

How SR3 1 trades

This is a thin market: 28 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the SR3 district median, SR3 1 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What homes rent for around SR3 1

SR3 1 falls under Sunderland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £701 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £519 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,073, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£701 a month is £8,412 a year, which against the £160,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
