About 5 Derwen Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Derwen Road is a detached house in Pontardawe, Swansea, Swansea (SA8 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 sits 91.3% above the 2015 sale of £149,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). On the market in February 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
