How the estimate is made
The estimate for 34a is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN2 1DB. 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.

About 34a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN2 1DB). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 85.1% above the 2009 sale of £61,052. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 42.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 49 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).

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 34a is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN2 1DB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 34a. 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 34a was lodged in June 2025 at band E and is valid until June 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 34a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN2 1DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 34a is in council tax band A. 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.
