9 Columbia Court is a four-bedroom detached house in Finchampstead, Wokingham, Wokingham (RG40 4PE). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £548,000 sits 71.2% above the 2009 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 28% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 128 m² it's 18.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (108 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
