Overview

About 1 Gara Close

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

1 Gara Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swindon Village, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL51 9TW). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 703 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 sits 75.8% above the 2007 sale of £120,000. At 65 m² it's 21% larger than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 3 EPCs).
