Overview

About 74 Alexandra Road

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

74 Alexandra Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Gorseinon, Swansea, Swansea (SA4 4NU). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1999–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 sits 204.2% above the 2001 sale of £48,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 60.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).

How the estimate is made
The estimate for 74 Alexandra Road is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA4 4NU.

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 74 Alexandra Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 74 Alexandra Road. 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 4NU.
Council tax band
