18 Bernard Street, Uplands, Swansea, SA2 0HU

18 Bernard Street is an eight-bedroom mid-terrace house in Uplands, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 0HU). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since October 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 326.7% above the 1999 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£34/sq ft) was about 65.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
