About 2 Chestnut Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Chestnut Cottages is a semi-detached house in Llanmorlais, Swansea, Swansea (SA4 3TS). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 900 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 1999, a hold of 27 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 £297,000 sits 197% above the 1999 sale of £100,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
