About 5 Canopus Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Canopus Close is a detached house in St. Mellons, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 1NR). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £316,000 sits 50.5% above the 2016 sale of £209,950. Last sold in October 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
