Overview

About 5 Sanderling Drive

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

5 Sanderling Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in St. Mellons, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 0DA). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 116 m² it's 20.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 is 37.8% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 59% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £278,000 in March 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Sanderling Drive is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF3 0DA. 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 Sanderling 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 Sanderling Drive was lodged in November 2012 at band D and expired in November 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Sanderling 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 CF3 0DA.
Council tax band
5 Sanderling 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.
