Flat 1, 10 Marlborough Road, Cardiff, CF23 5BX
About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5BX). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 61 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (61–65 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 is 38% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£241/sq ft) was about 54.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
