Overview

About 8 West Way

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

8 West Way is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Goring, Reading, Reading (RG8 0BX). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 is 14.8% above the 2024 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£377/sq ft) was about 47.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £345,000 in June 2024.
