Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £437,000 is 10.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£471/sq ft) was about 81.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 Avenue House is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 7EF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Avenue House. 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 Avenue House was lodged in July 2010 at band C and expired in July 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Avenue House. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 7EF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Avenue House is in council tax band E. 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.
