About 8 Carter Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Carter Place is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF5 3NP). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 23 years, with the last transfer in November 2003. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 121.3% above the 2003 sale of £108,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 46.1% below the postcode norm.
