About 4 Kit Lane
4 Kit Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Checkendon, Reading, Reading (RG8 0TY). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1799 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 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. At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £766,000 sits 55.5% above the 2009 sale of £492,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 61.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
