Overview

About Herons Reach South

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

Herons Reach South is a detached house in Whitchurch On Thames, Reading, Reading (RG8 7EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 115), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £605,000 is 11% below the 2021 sale of £680,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,071/sq ft) was about 151.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (155 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Sold March 2021 for £680,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
