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 £137,000 is 30.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 45.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
