Overview

About 25 Blackwater Close

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

25 Blackwater Close is a semi-detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 169.6% above the 2007 sale of £125,000.
