Overview

About 4 Tower Road

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

4 Tower Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Peatmoor, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 5BG). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since February 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £406,000 sits 290.4% above the 1997 sale of £104,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 51.5% below the postcode norm. At 127 m² it's 18.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 25 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
