Overview

About 17 Heronbridge Close

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

17 Heronbridge Close is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Westlea, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 7DR). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. At 31 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–54 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 23 units on file.

It hasn't traded since February 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 £110,000 sits 315.1% above the 1998 sale of £26,500.

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 17 Heronbridge Close is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 7DR. 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 17 Heronbridge 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 17 Heronbridge Close was lodged in December 2023 at band D and is valid until December 2033. 5 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 17 Heronbridge 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 7DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Heronbridge 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.
