Overview

About Sunnyside

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Sunnyside is a four-bedroom detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1541 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 20 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. Today's modelled estimate of £633,000 sits 76.3% above the 2010 sale of £359,000. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2010.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Sunnyside is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 1AE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Sunnyside. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Sunnyside was lodged in February 2010 at band F and expired in February 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Sunnyside. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 1AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Sunnyside is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
