2 Buttercup Close is a six-bedroom detached house in Wokingham (RG40 1QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1132 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Sale prices here have outpaced Wokingham HPI: 8% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £744,000 is 32.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£495/sq ft) was about 67.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 105 m² it's 25.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (142 m² median across 12 EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
