About 8 Branksome Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Branksome Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN25 3HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it B (July 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 88 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 sits 76.9% above the 2013 sale of £143,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 63.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 13 years since the last transfer (December 2013).

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 8 Branksome Road is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN25 3HQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Branksome 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 8 Branksome Road was lodged in August 2014 at band D and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Branksome 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN25 3HQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Branksome Road 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.
