About 7 Handel Street
7 Handel Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN2 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2007 — 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. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 sits 75.2% above the 2007 sale of £105,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
