Overview

About Altamar

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

Altamar is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swansea (SA1 8PY). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 25 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Altamar (25–95 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since January 2006, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (48 m² across 68 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 62.7% above the 2006 sale of £83,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Altamar is modelled from its 25 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SA1 8PY. 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 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 September 2022 at band D and is valid until September 2032. 2 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 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 8PY.
Council tax band
Altamar is in council tax band C. 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.
