About 42 Cartwright Lane
42 Cartwright Lane is a semi-detached house in Cardiff (CF5 3DB). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 430% above the 1995 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 75.6% below the postcode norm.
