10 Galen View, Swindon, SN1 4GF

10 Galen View is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 4GF). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2014) returns a high B (score 91), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 200 m² the property is well over the postcode median (148 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £539,000 sits 50.9% above the 2007 sale of £357,125.
