About 48a
48a is a mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 1BL). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 59 m² this is the 5th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–62 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 (54 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (September 2023) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 23.9% below the 2022 sale of £155,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
