Overview

About 7 Rhigos

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

7 Rhigos is a four-bedroom detached house in Emmer Green, Reading, Reading (RG4 8LF). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

It hasn't traded since August 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £665,000 sits 334.6% above the 1996 sale of £153,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 44.2% below the postcode norm. At 112 m² it's 22% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (144 m² median across 8 EPCs).
