About 8 Devon View
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Devon View is an end-of-terrace house in Sketty, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 8HU). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. At 53 m² this is the 17th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 1996, a hold of 31 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 £140,000 sits 254.4% above the 1996 sale of £39,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 51.8% below the postcode norm.

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
