Overview

About Altamar

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

Altamar is a semi-detached house in Swansea (SA1 8PY). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 754 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2008) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 70 m² this is the 66th smallest of 69 units on EPC record in Altamar, where floor areas span 25–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.

Across 2006–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 is 17.7% below the 2024 sale of £265,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 36.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 70 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 68 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: October 2024 at £265,000.

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 70 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 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 B 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 8PY.
Council tax band
Altamar is in council tax band F. 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.
