Overview

About 1 Courtenay Drive

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

1 Courtenay Drive is a detached house in Emmer Green, Reading, Reading (RG4 8XH). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 747 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (126 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £622,000 is 43% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£582/sq ft) was about 24.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
