Overview

About Fieldfare

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

Fieldfare is a detached house in Midgham, Reading, Reading (RG7 5UL). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Fieldfare is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 5UL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Fieldfare. 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 Fieldfare was lodged in May 2014 at band D and expired in May 2024, 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 Fieldfare. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 5UL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Fieldfare is in council tax band F. 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.
