Overview

About 20 Sanderling Drive

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

20 Sanderling Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St. Mellons, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 0DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 sits 72.1% above the 2013 sale of £147,000. At 85 m² it's 19.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 21 EPCs). Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
