20 Chain Court, Swindon, SN1 4GW

20 Chain Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 4GW). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2024) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 61 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 73 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–101 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (86 versus a worst of 66).

Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 11.5% below the 2007 sale of £164,995, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 17.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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.
