Overview

About 18 New Road

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

18 New Road is a semi-detached house in Grovesend, Swansea, Swansea (SA4 4WE). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 1999, a hold of 26 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 £181,000 sits 624% above the 1999 sale of £25,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£23/sq ft) was about 77.6% below the postcode norm.
