About 7 York Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 York Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 2LE). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–131 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 9 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 10% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£333/sq ft) was about 108.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 7 York Road is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 2LE. 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 7 York 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 7 York Road was lodged in September 2020 at band C and is valid until September 2030. 9 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 7 York 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 2LE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 York Road is in council tax band A. 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.
