About 73 Ashford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
73 Ashford Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 3NT). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 sits 87.5% above the 2011 sale of £120,000. At 82 m² it's 21.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 18 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 73 Ashford Road is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 3NT. 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 73 Ashford 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 73 Ashford Road was lodged in October 2012 at band D and expired in October 2022, 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 73 Ashford 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 3NT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 73 Ashford Road 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.
