About 6 Gainsborough Close

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

6 Gainsborough Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Sketty, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 9FE). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 30% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
