About 20 Tower Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Tower Road is a detached house in Peatmoor, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 5BG). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1662 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 1995, a hold of 31 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. At 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (107 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £444,000 sits 329% above the 1995 sale of £103,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 60.6% below the postcode norm.

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 20 Tower Road is modelled from its 154 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 5BG. 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 20 Tower Road. 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 20 Tower Road was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 2019, 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. None is matched to 20 Tower Road. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 5BG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Tower Road is in council tax band E. 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.
