About 8 Trafalgar Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Trafalgar Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1209 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
