About 2a
2a is a semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF5 1BW). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 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. Today's modelled estimate of £469,000 sits 68.7% above the 2007 sale of £278,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
