About Elm Bank
Elm Bank is a seven-bedroom semi-detached house in Aberystwyth (SY23 1EY). It has a recorded floor area of 284 m² (around 3057 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 1999, a hold of 27 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 £504,000 sits 217% above the 1999 sale of £159,000.
