The estimate for Brookside is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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.

Overview

About Brookside

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

Brookside is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN2 1XB). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 37 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Brookside (16–37 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (70 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (57 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 48% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £115,000 in April 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Brookside is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for Brookside. 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 Brookside was lodged in April 2026 at band C 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. None is matched to Brookside. 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
Brookside 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.
