About First Tower
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
First Tower is a detached house in Colnbrook, Slough, Slough (SL3 0JH). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a G (score 18), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (April 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 5 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. Today's modelled estimate of £437,000 sits 63.4% above the 2014 sale of £267,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 37.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 12 years since the last transfer (June 2014).

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 First Tower is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SL3 0JH. 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 First Tower. 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 First Tower was lodged in April 2016 at band G and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to First Tower. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SL3 0JH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- First Tower is in council tax band E. 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.
