Overview

About 16 Bowen Street

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

16 Bowen Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swansea (SA1 2NA). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2019. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 46.4% above the 2007 sale price.
