Overview

About 8 Hatch Close

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

8 Hatch Close is a detached house in Chapel Row, Reading, Reading (RG7 6NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 212 m² (around 2282 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2018 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since December 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £854,000 sits 423.9% above the 1996 sale of £163,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 75.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
