About 17 Balaclava Road
17 Balaclava Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5BB). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.
