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 £139,000 sits 189.6% above the 2001 sale of £48,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 55.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
