About 9 Lambourne Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Lambourne Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Sonning Common, Reading, Reading (RG4 9LX). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since March 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £641,000 sits 293.3% above the 1999 sale of £163,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 72.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 9 Lambourne Road is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 9LX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 9 Lambourne Road. 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 Lambourne Road was lodged in May 2026 at band D and is valid until May 2036. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 9 Lambourne Road. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 9LX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Lambourne Road is in council tax band E. 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.
