Overview

About 14 Orchard Park

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

14 Orchard Park is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St. Mellons, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 0AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a corner plot.

Across 2015–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£315/sq ft) was about 85.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2022 for £227,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
