About 236c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
236c is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1GY). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2011); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 21 years, with the last transfer in May 2005. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2001–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year.

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 236c is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF5 1GY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 236c. 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 236c was lodged in October 2014 at band F and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 236c. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF5 1GY.
- Council tax band
- 236c is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
