About 5 The Elms
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 The Elms is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Nine Elms, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 5PL). It has a recorded floor area of 19 m² (around 205 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2018) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2018. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. Other recorded features include notable views, a conservatory, a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 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. Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 sits 494.8% above the 1998 sale of £89,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£440/sq ft) was about 161.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 19 m² it sits well below the postcode median (149 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5 The Elms is modelled from its 19 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 5PL. 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 5 The Elms. 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 The Elms was lodged in January 2018 at band D and is valid until January 2028. 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 The Elms. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 5PL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 The Elms 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.
