About Braemar

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

Braemar is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1AL). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1174 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in May 2010. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2002–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £515,000 sits 66.1% above the 2010 sale of £310,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 109 m² it's 16.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (130 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
