Overview

About 53 Lon Y Wern

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

53 Lon Y Wern is a semi-detached house in Pontardawe, Swansea, Swansea (SA8 3BL). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 1996, a hold of 30 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. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 600% above the 1996 sale of £32,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£21/sq ft) was about 72.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 53 Lon Y Wern is modelled from its 139 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SA8 3BL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 53 Lon Y Wern. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 53 Lon Y Wern was lodged in May 2012 at band C and expired in May 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 53 Lon Y Wern. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from SA8 3BL.
Council tax band
53 Lon Y Wern is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
