Overview

About 1 Ffordd Butler

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

1 Ffordd Butler is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Gowerton, Swansea, Swansea (SA4 3GQ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 73.1% above the 2009 sale of £134,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 84.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Ffordd Butler is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA4 3GQ. 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 1 Ffordd Butler. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Ffordd Butler. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from SA4 3GQ.
Council tax band
1 Ffordd Butler 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.
