15 Bernard Avenue, Canton, Cardiff, CF5 1BT

15 Bernard Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Canton, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF5 1BT). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £389,000 sits 55.6% above the 2007 sale of £250,000.
