Overview

About 74 River Leys

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

74 River Leys is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon Village, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL51 9SA). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 27 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 55 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 26–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (40 m² across 54 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £108,000 is 30.1% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 38.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in October 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 74 River Leys is modelled from its 27 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL51 9SA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 74 River Leys. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 74 River Leys was lodged in April 2026 at band E and is valid until April 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 74 River Leys. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL51 9SA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
74 River Leys is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
