About 18 Cobbett Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Cobbett Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN25 4GZ). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 sits 68.5% above the 2007 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 37.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 18 Cobbett Close is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN25 4GZ. 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 18 Cobbett 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 18 Cobbett Close was lodged in May 2016 at band E and expired in May 2026, 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 18 Cobbett 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN25 4GZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Cobbett 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.
