Overview

About 8 St Johns Crescent

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 St Johns Crescent is a semi-detached house in Canton, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF5 1NX). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 25 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 2002–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £634,000 sits 67.7% above the 2013 sale of £378,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2013, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Where sold prices come from
