About 354a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
354a is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 1HE). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 50 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–108 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
It hasn't traded since March 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 71.3% above the 2000 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 38.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 50 m² it's 23.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 11 EPCs).

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 354a is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF5 1HE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 354a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 354a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.

- 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 1HE.
- Council tax band
- 354a is in council tax band C. 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.
