About 4a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4a is an end-of-terrace house in Swansea (SA1 3JP). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2016) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.
Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £152,000 is 10.6% below the 2022 sale of £170,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 56.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2003. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 105 m² it's 19.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 21 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Sold June 2022 for £170,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

- 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 4a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
