Overview

About 42 Fairfield Avenue

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

42 Fairfield Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 101 m² it's 17.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 17 EPCs). Across 2015–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £376,000 is 26% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£275/sq ft) was about 27.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 42 Fairfield Avenue is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF5 1BS. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 42 Fairfield Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 42 Fairfield Avenue was lodged in October 2014 at band D and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 42 Fairfield Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF5 1BS.
Council tax band
42 Fairfield Avenue is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
