19 Fir Cottage Road is a detached house in Finchampstead, Wokingham, Wokingham (RG40 4RY). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £632,000 sits 233.5% above the 1997 sale of £189,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 62.1% below the postcode norm.
