About 5 Church Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Church Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 3HF). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 436 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Sold June 2023 for £210,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2000–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£481/sq ft) was about 160.1% 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 5 Church Road is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 3HF. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 5 Church 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 5 Church Road was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Church 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 3HF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Church Road is in council tax band B. 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.
