About 17 Birdbrook Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Birdbrook Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN2 7RY). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1222 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 82.1% above the 2016 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 15.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 17 Birdbrook Road is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN2 7RY. 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 17 Birdbrook Road. 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 Birdbrook Road was lodged in February 2010 at band D and expired in February 2020, 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 Birdbrook Road. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN2 7RY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Birdbrook Road is in council tax band D. 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.
