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 £112,000 sits 326.7% 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).

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 8 Aldborough Close is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN5 7EE. 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 8 Aldborough 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 Aldborough Close was lodged in September 2022 at band D and is valid until September 2032. 3 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 8 Aldborough 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN5 7EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Aldborough 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.
