Overview

About 1 Hatch Close

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

1 Hatch Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Chapel Row, Reading, Reading (RG7 6NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in September 2019 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. Main heating runs on oil.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £804,000 sits 78.7% above the 2007 sale of £450,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 31.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
