About 8 Pound Street
8 Pound Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newbury (RG14 6AA). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1175 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since May 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £406,000 sits 534.4% above the 1995 sale of £64,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£54/sq ft) was about 75.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2015. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
