About 5 Berkeley Lawns
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 (70 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 sits 91.4% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 55.6% 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.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5 Berkeley Lawns is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN3 1LD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Berkeley Lawns. 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 5 Berkeley Lawns was lodged in March 2009 at band D and expired in March 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Berkeley Lawns. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN3 1LD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Berkeley Lawns 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.
