About Bentham House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Bentham House is a detached house in Purton, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 4HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 883 m² (around 9505 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 883 m² the property is well over the postcode median (159 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 9 planning records sit against the property, 9 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch, partial demolition and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £2,254,000 is 23.5% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£192/sq ft) was about 49.7% below the postcode norm. Last sale on file: £1,825,000 in February 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Bentham House is modelled from its 883 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 4HZ. 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 Bentham House. 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 Bentham House was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, 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. 9 applications are matched to Bentham House. 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 3 schools and 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 4HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Bentham House is in council tax band H. 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.
