Overview

About Flat 1

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5BX). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 68 m² this is the 6th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–214 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Held since September 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 434.7% above the 1996 sale of £43,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 61.3% below the postcode norm. At 68 m² it's 15.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 71 EPCs).

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 1 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 1. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 1 was lodged in November 2023 at band C and is valid until November 2033. 7 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 Flat 1. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF23 5BX.
Council tax band
Flat 1 is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
