In cash terms the typical SR4 9 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £177,500 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 63%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 7% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SR4 9 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 2013 (+41.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−28.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SR4 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.8% | +6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.4% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 26 SR4 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 59 sales a year recently, against 59 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of SR4 9
For renting purposes SR4 9 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Sunderland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £177,500 median purchase price, a rent of £701 a month (£8,412 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.
The shape of the SR4 9 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SR4 9 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. Within SR4, this sector trades 29% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

How much did a house sell for in SR4 9 (Ayres Quay)?
Are property prices falling in SR4 9 (Ayres Quay)?
Will SR4 9 prices rise from here?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 22% over five years in cash but down 4% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in SR: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SR area. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
