Overview

About Altamar

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

Altamar is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swansea (SA1 8PP). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. At 50 m² this is the 49th smallest of 80 units on EPC record in Altamar, where floor areas span 21–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

11 years since the last transfer (April 2015). Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 22.4% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm.

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 Altamar is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA1 8PP. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Altamar. 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 Altamar was lodged in October 2008 at band D and expired in October 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Altamar. 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 8PP.
Council tax band
Altamar is in council tax band D. 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.
