About 1b

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

1b is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Royal Wootton Bassett, Swindon, Swindon (SN4 8AD). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). Other recorded features include notable views.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 45 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 71.4% above the 2009 sale of £175,000.
