Overview

About 8 Sheerlands Road

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

8 Sheerlands Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Arborfield, Reading, Reading (RG2 9ND). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 964 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a loft.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £459,000 sits 70% above the 2009 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£280/sq ft) was about 22.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Sheerlands Road is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 9ND. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Sheerlands Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Sheerlands Road was lodged in June 2009 at band D and expired in June 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Sheerlands Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG2 9ND, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Sheerlands Road is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
