Overview

About 1 Longford Crescent

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

1 Longford Crescent is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St. Thomas, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 8HS). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 80 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (80–150 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

It hasn't traded since June 1995, a hold of 31 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 £136,000 sits 504.4% above the 1995 sale of £22,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£26/sq ft) was about 67.3% below the postcode norm. At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 1 Longford Crescent is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SA1 8HS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Longford Crescent. 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 1 Longford Crescent was lodged in May 2019 at band D and is valid until May 2029. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Longford Crescent. 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 8HS.
Council tax band
1 Longford Crescent 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.
