About 78 Penarth Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
78 Penarth Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF11 6NH). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2003–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 sits 55% above the 2006 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 27% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
