About 38 Springhill Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Springhill Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Goring, Reading, Reading (RG8 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 884 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 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. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £462,000 sits 84.8% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£283/sq ft) was about 38.8% below the postcode norm.
