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 17 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 £373,000 sits 100% 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.
