Overview

About 10 Benson Close

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

10 Benson Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Reading (RG2 7LP). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 77% above the 2007 sale of £270,000. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
