Overview

About 8 Aldborough Close

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

8 Aldborough Close is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Westlea, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 7EE). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (31–39 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 9 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.

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 £118,000 sits 349.5% above the 1998 sale of £26,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 43.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
