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. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 33.7% above the 2009 sale price.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 St Nicholas Square is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA1 1UG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 St Nicholas Square. 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 8 St Nicholas Square was lodged in February 2021 at band C and is valid until February 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 St Nicholas Square. 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 1UG.
Council tax band
8 St Nicholas Square is in council tax band C. 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.
