About Duke House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Duke House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 2DF). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Duke House is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 2DF. 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 Duke House. 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 Duke House 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. None is matched to Duke House. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 2DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Duke House is in council tax band B. 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.
