About 8 Caswell Street
8 Caswell Street is a semi-detached house in Swansea (SA1 4HT). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
