About 3 Derwen Road
3 Derwen Road is a semi-detached house in Pontardawe, Swansea, Swansea (SA8 3AU).

The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 sits 157.6% above the 2009 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 52.5% below the postcode norm. At 124 m² it's 17.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 33 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
