Overview

About 5 Stretton Close

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

5 Stretton Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Bradfield Southend, Reading, Reading (RG7 6EN). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (64 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £465,000 is 45.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£706/sq ft) was about 150.3% 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 5 Stretton Close is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 6EN. 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 5 Stretton 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 5 Stretton Close was lodged in August 2009 at band D and expired in August 2019, 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. None is matched to 5 Stretton 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 2 schools and 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 6EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Stretton Close is in council tax band E. 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.
