Overview

About 7 Cockney Hill

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

7 Cockney Hill is a five-bedroom detached house in Tilehurst, Reading, Reading (RG30 4HF). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 209 m² the property is well over the postcode median (140 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 47.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £685,000 sits 115.7% above the 2007 sale of £317,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 55% below the postcode norm. 11 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft 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 7 Cockney Hill is modelled from its 209 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 4HF. 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 7 Cockney Hill. 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 7 Cockney Hill was lodged in September 2022 at band D and is valid until September 2032. 6 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 11 applications are matched to 7 Cockney Hill. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 4HF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Cockney Hill is in council tax band F. 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.
