About 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a three-bedroom detached house in South Stoke, Reading, Reading (RG8 0JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £664,000 sits 58.1% above the 2008 sale of £420,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£320/sq ft) was about 72.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
