Roker property market: common questions

Where is Roker?

Roker is about 2 miles north-east of central Sunderland, in Tyne & Wear. Figures for Roker cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Roker?

The median asking price across the 84 homes for sale in Roker is £202,475 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £149,950 and £300,000. That is 19% above Sunderland. Homes that actually sold in Roker went for a median £180,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Roker rising or falling?

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Roker is up 33% over the last 10 years and up 6% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Roker cheaper than Sunderland?

No: asking prices in Roker are typically higher than across Sunderland. The median asking price in Roker is £202,475 against £170k across Sunderland: 19% above Sunderland. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Roker?

The median asking price for a flat in Roker is £110,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £179,950 across 28 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a three-bedroom house in Roker?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Roker is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £209,975 across 12 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

In Roker, homes that sold went for a median £198 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £202 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (84 in Roker), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Roker cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Roker since May 2026.
  • Sunderland comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Sunderland, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
