Overview

About 2 Kensington Avenue

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

2 Kensington Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 sits 79.5% above the 2008 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 21.1% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
