19 Paramount, Beckhampton Street, Swindon, SN1 2SB

19 Paramount is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 2SB). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 68 m² this is the 50th smallest of 55 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–76 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (47 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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 68 m² it's 15.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 54 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
