Overview

About 7 Kensington Avenue

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

7 Kensington Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 968 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 sits 85.4% above the 2009 sale of £199,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 18.5% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
