About 1 Ffordd Emlyn
1 Ffordd Emlyn is a semi-detached house in Ystalyfera, Swansea, Swansea (SA9 2EW). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump.
