Overview

About 72a

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

72a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF23 5NN). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 62 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 56–297 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 21 units on file.

At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (162 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 is 24.2% above the 2013 sale price.
