Overview

About 1 Goddard Close

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

1 Goddard Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Shinfield, Reading, Reading (RG2 9DR). 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 (October 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in May 2008. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £440,000 sits 63% above the 2008 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£259/sq ft) was about 23.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
