About 5 Birch Walk
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Birch Walk is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 3HL). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
