Overview

About 1 Larch Close

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

1 Larch Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Speen, Newbury, Newbury (RG14 1UY). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 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. 11 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £486,000 is 46.4% above the 2009 sale price.
