Overview

About 2 Sevenoaks Drive

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

2 Sevenoaks Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £665,000 sits 64.2% above the 2009 sale of £405,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£243/sq ft) was about 25.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 155 m² it's 24.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (124 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.

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 2 Sevenoaks Drive is modelled from its 155 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 1AZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 2 Sevenoaks Drive. 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 2 Sevenoaks Drive was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, 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 2 Sevenoaks Drive. 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 1AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Sevenoaks Drive is in council tax band G. 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.
