About 15 Bessborough Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Bessborough Drive is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF11 8NE). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 60.7% above the 2007 sale of £145,000.
