Overview

About 33 Bushell Way

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

33 Bushell Way is a three-bedroom detached house in Arborfield, Reading, Reading (RG2 9FQ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 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 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £464,000 sits 68.7% above the 2009 sale of £275,000. At 88 m² it's 28.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (122 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
