How the estimate is made

About 31 33
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 33 is a seven-bedroom semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF10 3EE). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. At 42 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in 31 33, where floor areas span 37–53 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since May 2018. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in August 1998. 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 £340,000 sits 308.2% above the 1998 sale of £83,300. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 34.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 31 33 is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF10 3EE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 31 33. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 31 33 was lodged in September 2024 at band E and is valid until September 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 31 33. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF10 3EE.
- Council tax band
- 31 33 is in council tax band H. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
