Overview

About 23 The Strand

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

23 The Strand is a mid-terrace house in Blaengarw, Bridgend, Bridgend (CF32 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 46 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–118 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 20 units on file.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 sits 111.1% above the 2009 sale of £54,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 48.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
