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

8 Copse Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN1 2PX). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1041 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Copse Avenue is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 2PX. 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 8 Copse Avenue. 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 8 Copse Avenue was lodged in December 2009 at band E and expired in December 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Copse Avenue. 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 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 2PX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Copse Avenue 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.
