How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Baxter Close is modelled from its 276 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN25 4XL. 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.

About 3 Baxter Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Baxter Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN25 4XL). It has a recorded floor area of 276 m² (around 2971 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 276 m² the property is well over the postcode median (109 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £598,000 is 30% above the 2021 sale price. Sold April 2021 for £460,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 3 Baxter Close is modelled from its 276 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN25 4XL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Baxter 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 3 Baxter Close was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, 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. None is matched to 3 Baxter 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 4XL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Baxter Close is in council tax band F. 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.
