About 1 Dunsford Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Dunsford Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN1 4PN). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2008.

Held since August 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £432,000 sits 292.9% above the 1997 sale of £109,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 53.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Dunsford Close is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN1 4PN. 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 1 Dunsford Close. 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 1 Dunsford Close was lodged in February 2019 at band D and is valid until February 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Dunsford Close. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN1 4PN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Dunsford Close is in council tax band E. 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.
