About 5 Fairoak Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Fairoak Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cardiff (CF23 5HH). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (September 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 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. At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 2140% above the 1996 sale of £20,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£11/sq ft) was about 93.1% below the postcode norm.
