Overview

About 12 Bute Close

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

12 Bute Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Highworth, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 7HN). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 63.9% above the 2010 sale of £155,000. At 69 m² it's 26.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 11 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 12 Bute Close is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN6 7HN. 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 12 Bute 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 12 Bute Close was lodged in July 2014 at band D and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 12 Bute 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN6 7HN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Bute Close is in council tax band C. 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.
