Overview

About 5 Penlan Crescent

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

5 Penlan Crescent is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Uplands, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 0RL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. At 69 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (69–230 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 40 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1995–2000, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 sits 140% above the 2000 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 43% below the postcode norm. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.

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 5 Penlan Crescent is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA2 0RL. 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 5 Penlan Crescent. 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 5 Penlan Crescent was lodged in April 2015 at band E and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Penlan Crescent. 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 0RL.
Council tax band
5 Penlan Crescent is in council tax band D. 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.
