About 5 College Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 College Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bridgend (CF31 3DL). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 51.5% above the 2019 sale of £165,000. Last sale on file: £165,000 in December 2019.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 College Close is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF31 3DL. 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 5 College Close. 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 5 College Close was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
