How the estimate is made
The estimate for 50c is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF23 5BX. 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.

About 50c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
50c is an end-of-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5BX). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 41 m² this is the 31st 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. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 80). The latest certificate (March 2025) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

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 50c is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF23 5BX. 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. No sale is recorded for 50c, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 50c was lodged in March 2025 at band E and is valid until March 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 50c. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
