About 47 Brecon Road
47 Brecon Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ystradgynlais, Swansea, Swansea (SA9 1HH). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £181,000 sits 311.4% above the 1998 sale of £44,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 60% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
