How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF23 5HH. 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 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a detached house in Cardiff (CF23 5HH). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 985 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 92 m² this is the 12th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–212 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 20 units on file.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 64.8% above the 2007 sale of £145,000. At 92 m² it's 22.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 19 EPCs).

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 1a is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF23 5HH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in April 2009 at band E and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1a. 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 5HH.
- Council tax band
- 1a 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.
