Overview

About 16 Elmswood Close

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

16 Elmswood Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN2 7RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Today's modelled estimate of £327,000 sits 75.8% above the 2014 sale of £185,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 28.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 121 m² it's 22.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 13 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
