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 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 60 m² this is the 34th smallest of 56 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 (50 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (May 2026) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
