Overview

About 244 Hyde End Road

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

244 Hyde End Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1DH). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £792,000 sits 55.3% above the 2014 sale of £510,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 15.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 244 Hyde End Road is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 1DH. 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 244 Hyde End Road. 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 244 Hyde End Road was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, 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 244 Hyde End Road. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 1DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
244 Hyde End Road 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.
