Overview

About 8 St Nicholas Square

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

8 St Nicholas Square is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Maritime Quarter, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 1UG). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. At 42 m² this is the 8th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–53 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
