About 291a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
291a is a four-bedroom detached house in Slough (SL1 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 981 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 40). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 91 m² this is the 30th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 21–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 34 units on file.
Held since July 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. One planning application is currently pending a decision in 2019. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 192.4% above the 2002 sale of £85,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 84% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 291a is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SL1 1BD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 291a. 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 291a was lodged in December 2008 at band F and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 291a. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SL1 1BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 291a is in council tax band B. 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.
