Overview

About Flat

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

Flat is a semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF5 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 57 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–117 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).

It hasn't traded since August 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 sits 225.7% above the 1998 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 37.4% below the postcode norm. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
