Overview

About 5 Whatleys Orchard

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

5 Whatleys Orchard is a five-bedroom detached house in Bishopstone, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 8QB). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since June 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £613,000 sits 82.4% above the 2004 sale of £336,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 17.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 170 m² it's 15.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (201 m² median across 8 EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 5 Whatleys Orchard is modelled from its 170 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN6 8QB. 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 5 Whatleys Orchard. 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 5 Whatleys Orchard was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Whatleys Orchard. 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 2 schools and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN6 8QB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Whatleys Orchard is in council tax band F. 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.
