About 8 Yarnton Close
8 Yarnton Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Nine Elms, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 5UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 75.5% above the 2008 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 104.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
