What a home in SR4 0 sells for
The SR4 0 median stands at £133,000 for 2026, built from 33 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £139,900, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
SR4 0 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SR4 0 sales average about £1,660 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, SR4 0 runs 53% below it.

| 1996 | £36,800 | £77,610 | 34 |
| 1995 | £38,800 | £84,345 | 38 |
In cash terms the typical SR4 0 home went from £38,800 in 1995 to £133,000 in 2026, roughly 3.4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 58%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SR4 0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.5% | −3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.0% | −1.8% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 33 SR4 0 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 93 sales a year before the financial crisis and 62 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.
Rents around SR4 0
SR4 0 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Sunderland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £133,000 median purchase price, a rent of £701 a month (£8,412 a year) works out at a 6.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How SR4 0 trades
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SR4 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

On the market in SR4 today
The live side of the market holds 46 homes at the moment, listed by 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SR4 district, not just SR4 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
18% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Westfield Grove, High Barnes, Sunderland
- St. Marks Road, Millfield, Sunderland
- Gilbert Square, Grindon
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

The price of an extra bedroom in SR
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SR area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £199,972 | £270,000 (+35%) | £414,995 (+54%) | £527,500 (+27%) |
| Semi-detached | £115,000 | £134,995 (+17%) | £184,500 (+37%) | £265,000 (+44%) | £382,500 (+44%) |
| Terraced | £87,000 | £88,000 (+1%) | £110,000 (+25%) | £160,000 (+45%) | £235,000 (+47%) |
| Flat | £69,000 | £90,000 (+30%) | £162,500 (+81%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
