About 1 Palace Road
1 Palace Road is a semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF5 2AF). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. At 94 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 77–274 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 18 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
