Overview

About 27 Donegal Close

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

27 Donegal Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5DT). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 122.2% above the 2009 sale of £158,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 28.2% below the postcode norm.
