Local market context
101 New Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontardawe, Swansea, Swansea (SA8 3DY). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 107), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 85 m² it sits well below the postcode median (170 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2013–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 is 12.6% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 75.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £189,995 in January 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
