Overview

About 14 Chester Street

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

14 Chester Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 5DX). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since March 2008 — that's 18 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 49.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 43.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 67 m² it's 21.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 37 EPCs).
