Overview

About Castle Buildings

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

Castle Buildings is an 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 2007 onwards and council tax band D. 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. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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).

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Castle Buildings is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SA1 1JH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Castle Buildings. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Castle Buildings was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Castle Buildings. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from SA1 1JH.
Council tax band
Castle Buildings is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
