4 Chain Court, Swindon, SN1 4GW

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.

Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 is 12.3% below the 2007 sale of £145,995, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 44.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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.
