About 1 Osborne Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Osborne Place is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Crofty, Swansea, Swansea (SA4 3SP). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 3 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Osborne Place is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SA4 3SP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Osborne Place. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

The latest one for 1 Osborne Place was lodged in October 2013 at band G and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Osborne Place. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
