Overview

About 5 Bernard Street

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

5 Bernard Street is a mid-terrace house in Uplands, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 0HU). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average.

The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 18 units on file.

Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 23.8% below the 2021 sale of £235,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 110.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 107 m² it sits well below the postcode median (179 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold June 2021 for £235,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
