About 53 Heol Y Castell

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

53 Heol Y Castell is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ely, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF5 5LR). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Across 2005–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 sits 67.7% above the 2014 sale of £133,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 95.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
