Overview

About 30 Castle Crescent

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

30 Castle Crescent is a semi-detached house in Rumney, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 4FU). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 342.1% above the 1995 sale of £66,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 70.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
