About 125 Penarth Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
125 Penarth Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF11 6JU). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2017. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. At 62 m² this is the 6th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–147 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 20 units on file.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
