42 Velindre Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Port Talbot (SA13 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B.

The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 6.7% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 sits 171.1% above the 2008 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 42.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
