Overview

About 5 Brython Drive

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

5 Brython Drive is a semi-detached house in St. Mellons, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 0LR). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
