Overview

About 8 Down Leaze

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

8 Down Leaze is a semi-detached house in Cockett, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 0GQ). It has a recorded floor area of 11 m² (around 118 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 74.4% above the 2016 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,056/sq ft) was about 624.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 11 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
