Get startedSilver Birch is a detached house in Cwmavon, Pontypool, Pontypool (NP4 7RU). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 37% below the 2021 sale of £387,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. At 88 m² it sits well below the postcode median (145 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sale on file: £387,500 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
