About The Elms
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Elms is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wokingham (RG40 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. At 92 m² this is the 5th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in The Elms, where floor areas span 49–122 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£500/sq ft) was about 17.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: June 2022 at £495,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
