How the estimate is made

About 5 Bowleymead
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Bowleymead is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN3 3TD). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–102 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
Held since December 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 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 44 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 33% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 98.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Bowleymead is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN3 3TD. 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 Bowleymead. 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 Bowleymead was lodged in October 2025 at band C and is valid until October 2035. 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 5 Bowleymead. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN3 3TD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Bowleymead is in council tax band A. 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.
