Flat 5, 8 Mazurek Way, Swindon, SN25 1AR

Flat 5 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN25 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 51 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (51–151 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to A, with this unit at the bottom. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (98 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £175,000 is 16.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£273/sq ft) was about 46.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
