About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF5 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 39 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–41 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 (67 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 64% below the 2018 sale of £450,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.
