108a, Commercial Road, Swindon, SN1 5PL
About 108a
108a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN1 5PL). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 406 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 108a (38–64 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to E, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£457/sq ft) was about 21.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
