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.

Across 2007–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 sits 54% above the 2014 sale of £100,000.
