Overview

About 8 Sebastopol Street

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

8 Sebastopol Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St. Thomas, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 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 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 is 13% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 75% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
