About Giffords Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Giffords Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Melksham (SN12 7DY). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 68 m² this is the 39th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in Giffords Court, where floor areas span 40–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (63 versus a best of 87). The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 is 10.1% below the 2003 sale of £153,450, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.
