Overview

About 5 Beech Drive

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

5 Beech Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN5 5DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1999–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £462,000 sits 65% above the 2010 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 25.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 5 Beech Drive is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 5DQ. 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 5 Beech Drive. 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 5 Beech Drive was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 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 5 Beech Drive. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 5DQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Beech Drive is in council tax band F. 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.
