Overview

About 8 Armstrong Street

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

8 Armstrong Street is a mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 2AA). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 98.4% above the 2010 sale of £122,000. At 95 m² it's 17.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 27 EPCs).
