Overview

About 8 Dunleary Court

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

8 Dunleary Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 2DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 68 m² this is the 8th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 61–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 51.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.

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 Dunleary Court is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 2DJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Dunleary Court. 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 Dunleary Court was lodged in March 2014 at band E and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Dunleary Court. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 2DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Dunleary Court is in council tax band B. 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.
