Overview

About 8 Pen Y Garn

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

8 Pen Y Garn is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Pentrechwyth, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 7EP). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 sits 299% above the 1999 sale of £42,100. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 50% below the postcode norm. At 83 m² it's 18.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 29 EPCs).
