About 8 Ancona Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Ancona Close is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ramleaze, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 5NR). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 37 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (May 2026) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 8 Ancona Close is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 5NR. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 8 Ancona Close. 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 8 Ancona Close was lodged in May 2026 at band E and is valid until May 2036. 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 8 Ancona Close. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 5NR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Ancona Close is in council tax band A. 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.
