Flat 5, 55 Pencisely Road, Cardiff, CF5 1DH

Flat 5 is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1DH). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 40 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–45 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (41 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 64.4% below the 2021 sale of £435,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,010/sq ft) was about 396% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Sold November 2021 for £435,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
