About 4 Waterloo Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Waterloo Gardens is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5AB). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1172 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 sits 67.2% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
