Overview

About Maesyffynnon

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Maesyffynnon is a detached house in Abercrave, Swansea, Swansea (SA9 1TX). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 95.4% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
