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 £254,000 sits 72.8% 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 13 years.

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 20 Sanderling Drive is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF3 0DJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 20 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 20 Sanderling Drive was lodged in December 2014 at band D and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 20 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 0DJ.
Council tax band
20 Sanderling Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
