3 The Willows, Brimpton, Reading, RG7 4GY

3 The Willows is a four-bedroom detached house in Brimpton, Reading, Reading (RG7 4GY). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 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. At 179 m² it's 23.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (234 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £903,000 is 33.8% above the 2007 sale price.
