5 Bute Esplanade is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF10 5BD). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
