Overview

About 2 Alden Drive

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

2 Alden Drive is a semi-detached house in Cockett, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 0FY). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 2 Alden Drive is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA2 0FY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Alden Drive. 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 2 Alden Drive was lodged in March 2014 at band E and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 2 Alden Drive. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from SA2 0FY.
Council tax band
2 Alden Drive 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.
