About 131 County Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
131 County Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 2EB). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Across 2009–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 is 38.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 21.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 11 years since the last transfer (December 2015).

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 131 County Road is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 2EB. 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 131 County Road. 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 131 County Road was lodged in August 2013 at band D and expired in August 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 131 County Road. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 2EB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 131 County Road is in council tax band C. 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.
