How the estimate is made

Overview

About 1 River Glade

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

1 River Glade is a five-bedroom detached house in Gwaelod-Y-Garth, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF15 9SP). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £468,000 sits 222.8% above the 1998 sale of £145,000. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (101 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 River Glade is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF15 9SP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 River Glade. 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 1 River Glade was lodged in June 2015 at band D and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 1 River Glade. 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 9SP.
Council tax band
1 River Glade is in council tax band F. 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.
