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 £401,000 sits 285.6% above the 1997 sale of £104,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 51.9% below the postcode norm. At 127 m² it's 18.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 27 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Tower Road is modelled from its 127 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 4 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 4 Tower Road was lodged in August 2015 at band E and expired in August 2025, 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. None is matched to 4 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
4 Tower Road is in council tax band D. 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.
