Overview

About 3 Merthyr Road

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

3 Merthyr Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Tongwynlais, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF15 7LF). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £408,000 is 38.3% above the 2016 sale price.
