4 Lower Way, Thatcham, RG19 3RN
About 4 Lower Way
4 Lower Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Thatcham (RG19 3RN). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1999, a hold of 27 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 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £456,000 sits 245.5% above the 1999 sale of £132,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 68.5% below the postcode norm.
