How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1b is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN2 1NJ. 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 1b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1b is a semi-detached house in Swindon (SN2 1NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since June 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 24 years, with the last transfer in July 2002. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £309,000 sits 164.1% above the 2002 sale of £117,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 38.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1b is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN2 1NJ. 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 1b. 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 1b was lodged in April 2026 at band D and is valid until April 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1b. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN2 1NJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1b is in council tax band C. 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.
