1 Maes Y Cornel, Rhos, Pontardawe, Swansea, SA8 3DR

1 Maes Y Cornel is a detached house in Pontardawe, Swansea, Swansea (SA8 3DR). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 992 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 sits 66.5% above the 2008 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£171/sq ft) was about 39.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
