Overview

About 9 Burcombe Way

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

9 Burcombe Way is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Emmer Green, Reading, Reading (RG4 8RX). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).

Held since December 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 sits 96.8% above the 2008 sale of £186,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 22.3% below the postcode norm.

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 9 Burcombe Way is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 8RX. 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 9 Burcombe Way. 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 9 Burcombe Way was lodged in February 2020 at band C and is valid until February 2030. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 9 Burcombe Way. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 8RX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
9 Burcombe Way is in council tax band C. 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.
