This three-bedroom mid-terrace in Port Tennant offers straightforward access to Swansea Retail Park, Fabian Way Park and Ride and the M4 — a practical pick for investors or first-time buyers who prioritise transport links and rental demand. The layout provides a living room, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms across two storeys, plus a private rear patio and on-street parking.
The property is sold freehold by modern auction and carries an Energy Efficiency Rating of 54 (E). Buyers should note the auction conditions: a 56-day completion window, a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and an additional Buyer Information Pack fee of £349. If you require mortgage finance, confirm terms with your lender before bidding.
The house sits in a high-crime, very deprived area and was constructed before 1900 with stone walls likely without insulation. Double glazing was installed before 2002. These factors, together with dated internal decor and a modest plot, mean sensible refurbishment will improve comfort, EPC performance and rental/value prospects. Council tax is low (Band A), and mobile and broadband services are good.
For investors: close proximity to retail, transport and student/city demand supports rental yield potential, but factor in auction costs and likely refurbishment to reach modern letting standards. For first-time buyers prepared to renovate, this is a budget entry with clear scope to add value.
