About 8 Queen Charlotte Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Queen Charlotte Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Creigiau, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF15 9NY). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £443,000 sits 55.4% above the 2007 sale of £285,000. At 128 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (157 m² median across 3 EPCs).
