8 Blake Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Wokingham (RG40 1QH). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Today's modelled estimate of £713,000 sits 53.7% above the 2017 sale of £464,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
