Overview

About 4 Chain Court

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Chain Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 4GW). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2020) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 44 m² this is the 3rd 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. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since July 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. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 72 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 45.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Chain Court is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 4GW. 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 4 Chain Court. 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 4 Chain Court was lodged in March 2020 at band B and is valid until March 2030. 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 4 Chain Court. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 4GW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Chain Court 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.
