44 Caerleon Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newport (NP19 7BX). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 51.9% above the 2008 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
