Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom detached house in Cardiff (CF5 2AF). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 77 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (77–111 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (50 versus a best of 73). The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (158 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Across 2010–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 is 19.6% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 38.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where sold prices come from
