About 63 Heol Y Castell
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
63 Heol Y Castell is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ely, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF5 5LR). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
