About 5 Green Lane
5 Green Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Sonning Common, Reading, Reading (RG4 9NA). It has a recorded floor area of 218 m² (around 2347 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 218 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £877,000 sits 86.6% above the 2009 sale of £470,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 16.8% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
