27 Langley Common Road is a detached house in Barkham, Wokingham, Wokingham (RG40 4TU). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£499/sq ft) was about 84.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold February 2021 for £650,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
