How the estimate is made

About 50a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
50a is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5BL). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 734 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 68 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–193 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (144 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 is 28.4% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 16.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 50a is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF23 5BL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 50a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 50a was lodged in August 2010 at band D and expired in August 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 50a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF23 5BL.
- Council tax band
- 50a is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
