About 23 High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 High Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Purton, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 4AE). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1104 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2011); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 52). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 is 34.6% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£322/sq ft) was about 45% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 23 High Street is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 4AE. 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 23 High Street. 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 23 High Street was lodged in October 2011 at band F and expired in October 2021, 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. 3 applications are matched to 23 High Street. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 4AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 High Street is in council tax band A. 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.
