Overview

About 8 Sorento House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Sorento House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF10 4AR). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 69 m² this is the 14th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 56–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since September 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 is 16% above the 2003 sale price.
