Overview

About Castle Buildings

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Castle Buildings is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swansea (SA1 1JH). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 57 m² this is the 19th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in Castle Buildings, where floor areas span 36–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 29 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 57 m² it's 18.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (48 m² median across 28 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 is 17.9% above the 2007 sale price.
