Overview

About 3 Blackbird Close

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

3 Blackbird Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Burghfield Common, Reading, Reading (RG7 3PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Sold February 2024 for £340,000. Across the public record there are 7 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 66 m² it's 22% larger than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 9 EPCs). Across 2002–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£479/sq ft) was about 75.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 3 Blackbird Close is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 3PQ. 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. 7 sales are recorded for 3 Blackbird Close. 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 3 Blackbird Close was lodged in June 2016 at band C and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 3 Blackbird Close. 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 3PQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Blackbird Close is in council tax band C. 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.
