Aurora, Apartment 19, Trawler Road, Maritime Quarter, Swansea, SA1 1FY

Aurora is an end-of-terrace house in Maritime Quarter, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 1FY). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 809 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2009) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 75 m² this is the 55th smallest of 70 units on EPC record in Aurora, where floor areas span 46–177 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the top.

Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 is 15.1% below the 2008 sale of £245,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
