About 13 Blethin Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Blethin Close is a mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 2RR). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2011–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 123.3% above the 2016 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 31.8% below the postcode norm. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (64 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
