Overview

About Flat 1

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 1 is a three-bedroom detached house in South Marston, Swindon, Swindon (SN3 4SF). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 132 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–157 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2016. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 1 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 79.2% above the 2003 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 57.9% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN3 4SF. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, 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. None is matched to Flat 1. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN3 4SF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 1 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.
