About Ground Floor Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ground Floor Flat is an end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN2 1EY). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since September 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 sits 230.6% above the 1995 sale of £36,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Ground Floor Flat is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN2 1EY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Ground Floor Flat. 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 Ground Floor Flat was lodged in October 2022 at band E and is valid until October 2032. 3 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 Ground Floor Flat. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN2 1EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Ground Floor Flat 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.
