About 24 Kensington Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24 Kensington Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 sits 72.6% above the 2015 sale of £230,000. On the market in April 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 24 Kensington Avenue is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 24 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 24 Kensington Avenue was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 24 Kensington Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
