Local market context
4 Prince Of Wales Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in St. Fagans, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF5 6HG). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
It hasn't traded since June 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £744,000 sits 203.7% above the 2003 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 19.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 168 m² it's 21.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (138 m² median across 7 EPCs).
