22 Ael Y Fro, Pontardawe, Swansea, SA8 4NS

22 Ael Y Fro is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontardawe, Swansea, Swansea (SA8 4NS). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

Held since January 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 sits 582.6% above the 1998 sale of £23,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£25/sq ft) was about 73.2% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
