Overview

About 1 Cressy Road

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

1 Cressy Road is a three-bedroom property in Cardiff (CF23 5BE). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 583 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 54 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (54–206 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 is 23.4% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£408/sq ft) was about 147.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
