About 3 Carmarthen Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

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 3 Carmarthen Street is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF5 1QG. 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. 7 sales are recorded for 3 Carmarthen Street. 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 3 Carmarthen Street was lodged in April 2026 at band D and is valid until April 2036. 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 3 Carmarthen Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
