How the estimate is made

About 23 Finchdale
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Finchdale is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN3 5AL). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 is 38.9% above the 2016 sale price.

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 23 Finchdale is modelled from its 155 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN3 5AL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 23 Finchdale. 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 23 Finchdale was lodged in July 2016 at band C and expired in July 2026, 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 23 Finchdale. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN3 5AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Finchdale 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.
