About 12 Sturminster Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Sturminster Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 is 33.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 48.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
