2 Cowper Way, Reading, RG30 3EA
About 2 Cowper Way
2 Cowper Way is a three-bedroom detached house in Reading (RG30 3EA). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 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. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 sits 129.2% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 19.3% below the postcode norm. At 98 m² it's 21% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (124 m² median across 7 EPCs).
