About 12 Elba Street

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

12 Elba Street is a detached house in Gowerton, Swansea, Swansea (SA4 3EE). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
