About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1DH). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 37 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–47 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor.
Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £149,000 is 14.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£326/sq ft) was about 60.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
