How the estimate is made

About 216 Queens Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
216 Queens Drive is a detached house in Swindon (SN3 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2001–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 sits 50% above the 2014 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 29.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in December 2014. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. 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 216 Queens Drive is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN3 1BA. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 216 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 216 Queens Drive was lodged in June 2015 at band D and expired in June 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. 1 application is matched to 216 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN3 1BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 216 Queens Drive 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.
