How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 East View is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN4 7QZ. 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.

About 8 East View
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 East View is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Broad Town, Swindon, Swindon (SN4 7QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1277 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since July 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 66% above the 2011 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 20.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 8 East View is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN4 7QZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 East View. 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 8 East View was lodged in September 2010 at band C and expired in September 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 East View. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN4 7QZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 East View 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.
