Overview

About 85b

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

85b is a three-bedroom detached house in Purton, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 4AB). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 is 44% above the 2007 sale price.
