Overview

About 5 Alexandra Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Alexandra Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 1DR). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
