Overview

About 16 Paramount

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

16 Paramount is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 2SA). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 72 m² this is the 15th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–113 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 18 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 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. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 101.5% above the 2008 sale of £66,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 21% below the postcode norm. At 72 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 17 EPCs).

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 16 Paramount is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 2SA. 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 16 Paramount. 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 16 Paramount was lodged in January 2013 at band C and expired in January 2023, 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. None is matched to 16 Paramount. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 2SA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Paramount 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.
