About 15 Alma Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Alma Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5BD). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1329 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
