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 £308,000 sits 363.2% above the 1995 sale of £66,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 70.7% 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.

How the estimate is made
The estimate for 30 Castle Crescent is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF3 4FU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 30 Castle Crescent. 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 30 Castle Crescent was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 30 Castle Crescent. 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 4FU.
Council tax band
30 Castle Crescent is in council tax band E. 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.
