Oakview, Basingstoke Road, Spencers Wood, Reading, RG7 1AP

Oakview is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1AP). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 953 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 52). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £477,000 sits 64.5% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£304/sq ft) was about 22.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (169 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
