About Orchard Cottage
Orchard Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Pamber Heath, Tadley, Tadley (RG26 3DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1118 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £500,000 is 44.1% above the 2007 sale price.
