About 16 Balaclava Street
16 Balaclava Street is a mid-terrace house in St. Thomas, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 8BS). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in November 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 sits 345.5% above the 1997 sale of £33,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£28/sq ft) was about 72% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
