About 2 The Croft
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 The Croft is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Broad Hinton, Swindon, Swindon (SN4 9PD). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 112), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in May 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Across 2006–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 is 32.4% above the 2014 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 2 The Croft is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN4 9PD. 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 2 The Croft. 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 2 The Croft was lodged in January 2016 at band D and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 2 The Croft. 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 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN4 9PD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 The Croft is in council tax band C. 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.
