SR4 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SR4 (Sunderland). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SR4 7 home went from £37,200 in 1995 to £139,800 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 73%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SR4 7 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 2004 (+35.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−18.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SR4 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.6% | +1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
SR4 7 recorded 46 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 344 sales a year before the financial crisis and 130 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.
Reading the SR4 7 market
Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SR4 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of SR4 7
SR4 7 falls under Sunderland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £701 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £519 a month here against £1,073 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Sunderland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£701 a month is £8,412 a year, which against the £139,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.0%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SR
Real sold prices by size across the SR area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
