Overview

About 50 May Close

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

50 May Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN2 1XB). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1995–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 75.5% above the 2006 sale of £124,250. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).

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 50 May Close is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN2 1XB. 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 50 May Close. 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 50 May Close was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 50 May Close. 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 1XB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
50 May Close 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.
