AI Summary
This is a dated but habitable 1930s terraced house in Roath, priced broadly in line with comparable sales at a median of £252,000, suggesting fair rather than discounted value. The cash-only requirement is a significant flag that warrants direct investigation — it may indicate a mortgage lender would flag structural, damp, or condition issues not fully visible in the listing. Buyers should budget for a meaningful cosmetic refurbishment and factor in the cost of cavity wall insulation to improve the EPC D rating.
