According to the schoolguide website and the government website, Christ’s College is the top 2 performing schools in Sunderland. Albeit their last couple of Ofsted reports left a lot to be desired.
So they have a bad school and a good school in the area. Not sure on crime rates but it will be similar to Grindon, farra and the likes

I’m in a 2 and a half year old new build estate and the last 3 houses that have gone up for sale have sold within a fortnight.
Difference in area maybe? Our sales office still have about 10 plots for sale as well.

Couldn't agree more, even decades ago it wasn't any worse than any other estate just had a worse reputation.

50% rentals as well, so if you buy, you tolerate the possibility of watching your lovely new area turn to shite and strewn with discarded mattresses within a year.It's blocked off from the estate. Only way in and out is the dual carriageway.
Both bullshit.
High crime
Check out the image on Gentoo's website of the layout. There are numerous ways in from all areas. Looks like small cuts on left and right will allow walkway access through the housing estate.

People must be nuts to pay that much and potentially have as social tenant next door.
I heard (from on here probably) that Gentoo are shit hot on problem tenants so any noisy neighbours people not looking after their gardens etc will soon be turfed out

I wouldn't want to risk it if I was paying that sort of money.

Come on Andrew, social tenant, a lot of us on this board were brought up in a council house, it isn't stigmatic, just normal people
On reflection you would have to be careful about the “property investor type” who will rent to undesirables.
Could help if they had a strong residents association

Call me a snob, but if I was dropping £250k on a house, I wouldn't want potential layabouts next door.
Doesn't happen at that end of the market. Yields aren't high enough and those who can afford to pay market rent will be the working sort.On reflection you would have to be careful about the “property investor type” who will rent to undesirables.

Its Pennywell Karen, scratter boxes need to be ticked before being allowed in. Crime rate must stay high in order to keep up the violent reputation.
Far from being a snob mate, i just dont like the area being called what it isnt.

They are like, one misdemeanor and there out.
I would have thought there would be covenants to control that sort of thing.
I would be amazed if there wasn't something to stop that happening.
