About 8 Dales Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Dales Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN25 4FR). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 63.2% above the 2014 sale of £157,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£261/sq ft) was about 55.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

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 Dales Close is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN25 4FR. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 8 Dales Close. 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 Dales Close was lodged in July 2015 at band E and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Dales Close. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN25 4FR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Dales Close 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.
