Overview

About 32 Balaclava Street

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

32 Balaclava Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St. Thomas, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 8BR). 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 (April 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since August 2000, a hold of 26 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 £127,000 sits 357.7% above the 2000 sale of £27,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 53.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2017. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
