How the estimate is made
The estimate for 13 Francis Court is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SA8 3HU. 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.

About 13 Francis Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Francis Court is an end-of-terrace house in Pontardawe, Swansea, Swansea (SA8 3HU). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 30 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (30–52 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (48 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 13 Francis Court is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SA8 3HU. 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. No sale is recorded for 13 Francis Court, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 13 Francis Court was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 13 Francis Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.

- 13 Francis Court is in council tax band A. 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.
