Overview

About 5 Vicarage Terrace

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

5 Vicarage Terrace is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in St. Thomas, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 8BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1021 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 26.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 35.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Vicarage Terrace is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA1 8BQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 5 Vicarage Terrace. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Vicarage Terrace was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Vicarage Terrace. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from SA1 8BQ.
Council tax band
5 Vicarage Terrace is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
