Overview

About 5 Cottingham Drive

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

5 Cottingham Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Pontprennau, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF23 8QG). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 138 m² it's 24.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 49 EPCs). Last sold in April 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £398,000 is 44.7% above the 2013 sale price.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Cottingham Drive is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF23 8QG. 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 5 Cottingham Drive. 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 5 Cottingham Drive was lodged in February 2013 at band C and expired in February 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 5 Cottingham Drive. 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 8QG.
Council tax band
5 Cottingham Drive is in council tax band F. 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.
