About 1a
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.

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.
