Overview

About 11 Bensgrove Close

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

11 Bensgrove Close is a detached house in Woodcote, Reading, Reading (RG8 0SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £508,000 sits 341.7% above the 1996 sale of £115,000.
