About Westhills Lodge
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Westhills Lodge is a detached house in Shaw, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 3PP). It has a recorded floor area of 287 m² (around 3089 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £995,000 sits 206.2% above the 1997 sale of £325,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Westhills Lodge is modelled from its 287 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 3PP. 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 Westhills Lodge. 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 Westhills Lodge was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, 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 Westhills Lodge. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 3PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Westhills Lodge is in council tax band G. 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.
