About 4 Elmcroft
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Elmcroft is a five-bedroom detached house in Datchet, Slough, Slough (SL3 9DS). It has a recorded floor area of 255 m² (around 2745 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 255 m² the property is well over the postcode median (114 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 32.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,373,000 is 14.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 19.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 4 Elmcroft is modelled from its 255 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SL3 9DS. 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 4 Elmcroft. 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 4 Elmcroft was lodged in March 2016 at band C and expired in March 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. 3 applications are matched to 4 Elmcroft. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SL3 9DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Elmcroft is in council tax band G. 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.
