Overview

About 7 Barra Close

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

7 Barra Close is a detached house in Highworth, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 7HX). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in June 1995. 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 £308,000 sits 352.9% above the 1995 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 54.6% below the postcode norm.
