About 5 Sawpit Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Sawpit Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hurst, Reading, Reading (RG10 0SE). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (142 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £521,000 sits 86.1% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
