About 50 Marlborough Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
50 Marlborough Road is a semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF23 5BX). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 44 m² this is the 32nd smallest of 72 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–214 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2024) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 is 62.9% below the 2022 sale of £380,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£802/sq ft) was about 421.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it's 25.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 71 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £380,000 in March 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
