Local market context
Pengerran is a detached house in Kidmore End, Reading, Reading (RG4 9AU). It has a recorded floor area of 234 m² (around 2519 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 234 m² the property is well over the postcode median (161 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £1,102,000 sits 60.9% above the 2009 sale of £685,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£272/sq ft) was about 25.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
