About 8 Cefn Road
8 Cefn Road is a detached house in Gwaun Cae Gurwen, Ammanford, Ammanford (SA18 1HF). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 sits 198% above the 2011 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 43.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). On the market in October 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.
