About 615 Queens Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
615 Queens Drive is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN3 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2015–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 is 15.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 44.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 3 refused. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £205,000. 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 615 Queens Drive is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN3 1AY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 615 Queens Drive. 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 615 Queens Drive was lodged in April 2015 at band E and expired in April 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. 4 applications are matched to 615 Queens Drive. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN3 1AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 615 Queens Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
