About 16a
16a is a detached house in Lower Cwmtwrch, Swansea, Swansea (SA9 1EH). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 491 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–152 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 20 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
