Overview

About 473 Cowbridge Road East

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

473 Cowbridge Road East is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in April 2010. Across 2003–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 sits 72.8% above the 2010 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 36.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
