Overview

About 15 Kensington Avenue

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

15 Kensington Avenue is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.

At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 sits 52.9% above the 2018 sale of £272,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 18.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in July 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 15 Kensington Avenue is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF5 1BU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 15 Kensington 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 15 Kensington Avenue was lodged in June 2018 at band E and is valid until June 2028. 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 15 Kensington 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 1BU.
Council tax band
15 Kensington Avenue is in council tax band F. 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.
