Overview

About 39 St Elmo Avenue

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

39 St Elmo Avenue is a semi-detached house in St. Thomas, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 8DR). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in September 1997. 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 £178,000 sits 242.3% above the 1997 sale of £52,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 60.9% below the postcode norm. At 94 m² it's 17.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 17 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
