Overview

About 79a

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

79a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN25 2DH). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. At 61 m² this is the 18th smallest of 47 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–204 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 49 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 15% above the 2007 sale price.
