Overview

About 26 Kentwood Close

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

26 Kentwood Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tilehurst, Reading, Reading (RG30 6DH). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 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. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 sits 59.1% above the 2008 sale of £227,500.
