Overview

About 12 Essex Terrace

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

12 Essex Terrace is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plasmarl, Swansea, Swansea (SA6 8LY). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 37.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 64.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
