About 8 Devitt Close
8 Devitt Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG2 8EF). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since March 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £359,000 sits 116.3% above the 2006 sale of £166,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 17.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
