56a, North Road, Cardiff, CF10 3DZ
About 56a
56a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cardiff (CF10 3DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
It hasn't traded since September 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. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 69.6% above the 2009 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 26.9% below the postcode norm.
