About 19 Marlborough Road
19 Marlborough Road is an end-of-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5BT). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 30 m² this is the 8th smallest of 52 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–235 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (October 2024) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 is 60% below the 2024 sale of £360,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,115/sq ft) was about 543% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 30 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (37 m² median across 51 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Sold June 2024 for £360,000.
