Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bryncethin, Bridgend, Bridgend (CF32 9SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 70 m² this is the 4th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 67–84 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (60 versus a best of 77). The home occupies a corner plot.

Most recent transfer: January 2025 at £90,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 31.1% above the 2025 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 17.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5a is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF32 9SJ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 5a. 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 5a was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5a. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF32 9SJ.
Council tax band
5a is in council tax band A. 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.
