Overview

About Homefield

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

Homefield is a four-bedroom detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1AP). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 187 m² it's 24.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (150 m² median across 16 EPCs). On the market in February 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years. Across 2011–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £685,000 is 14.2% above the 2017 sale price.

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 Homefield is modelled from its 187 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 1AP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Homefield. 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 Homefield was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Homefield. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 1AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Homefield 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.
