Overview

About 18 Birch Court

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

18 Birch Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tongwynlais, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF15 7JY). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. At 78 m² this is the 9th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 73–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 2007–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 is 36% above the 2014 sale price.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Birch Court is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF15 7JY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 18 Birch Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 18 Birch Court was lodged in August 2013 at band D and expired in August 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 18 Birch Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF15 7JY.
Council tax band
18 Birch Court is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
