Overview

About 17 Chestnut Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

17 Chestnut Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN2 1SN). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Across 2004–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 70.7% above the 2015 sale of £149,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 26.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Chestnut Avenue is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN2 1SN. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 17 Chestnut Avenue. 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 17 Chestnut Avenue was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Chestnut Avenue. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN2 1SN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Chestnut Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
