How the estimate is made
The estimate for Elgin House is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SL3 0HZ. 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.

About Elgin House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Elgin House is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Colnbrook, Slough, Slough (SL3 0HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 32 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Elgin House, where floor areas span 27–32 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (September 2019) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66).
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. 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 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 sits 69.1% above the 2007 sale of £94,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£273/sq ft) was about 39.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

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 Elgin House is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SL3 0HZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Elgin House. 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 Elgin House was lodged in September 2019 at band E and is valid until September 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Elgin House. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SL3 0HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Elgin House 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.
