About 8 Water Lane
8 Water Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Greenham, Thatcham, Thatcham (RG19 8SS). It has a recorded floor area of 231 m² (around 2486 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £818,000 sits 63.6% above the 2009 sale of £500,000.
