Overview

About 85 Windway Road

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

85 Windway Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Cardiff (CF5 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 85 Windway Road is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF5 1AH. 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 85 Windway Road. 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 85 Windway Road was lodged in February 2026 at band E and is valid until February 2036. 2 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 85 Windway Road. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF5 1AH.
Council tax band
85 Windway Road is in council tax band G. 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.
