AI Summary
This is a heavily discounted, significantly neglected three-storey end-of-terrace property currently configured as three self-contained flats with an active HMO licence, located in a convenient but mixed-deprivation area of Roath close to Cardiff University. The asking price of £425,000 sits substantially above the local comparable sales median of £255,000, which raises serious questions about value for money even accounting for the multi-unit configuration. Any buyer should commission a full structural survey before proceeding, given visible signs of damp, roof deterioration, and long-term maintenance neglect throughout.
