How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 New Cottage is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF31 4LX. 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.

About 1 New Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 New Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pen-Y-Fai, Bridgend, Bridgend (CF31 4LX). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 is 28.3% above the 2007 sale price.
