631 Cowbridge Road East is a semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF5 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1520 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57).

The latest one for 631 Cowbridge Road East was lodged in November 2009 at band E and expired in November 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
