Overview

About 6 Gorselands

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

6 Gorselands is a four-bedroom detached house in Emmer Green, Reading, Reading (RG4 8QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £804,000 is 39.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 19.3% below the postcode norm.
