Overview

About 11a

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

11a is a four-bedroom detached house in Arborfield Cross, Reading, Reading (RG2 9PS). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £657,000 sits 298.2% above the 1998 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 68% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation and a garage conversion, 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 11a is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 9PS. 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 11a. 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 11a was lodged in October 2008 at band D and expired in October 2018, 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. 2 applications are matched to 11a. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG2 9PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
11a is in council tax band G. 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.
