5 Berkeley Lawns, Swindon, SN3 1LD

5 Berkeley Lawns is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN3 1LD). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1418 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 sits 93.5% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 56% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
