Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 24 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (24–65 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 sits 66.9% above the 2007 sale of £75,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£292/sq ft) was about 261.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 24 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
