About 8 Caprice Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Caprice Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Middleleaze, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 5TB). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 997 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2006–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 sits 72.5% above the 2011 sale of £207,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 24.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 Caprice Close is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 5TB. 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 8 Caprice 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 Caprice Close was lodged in July 2010 at band D and expired in July 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Caprice 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 5TB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Caprice Close 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.
