Overview

About 55 Sanderling Drive

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

55 Sanderling Drive is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St. Mellons, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 0DH). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Across 1996–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 50% above the 2016 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 23% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
