13 Oak Tree Walk, Purley On Thames, Reading, RG8 8BN

13 Oak Tree Walk is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Purley On Thames, Reading, Reading (RG8 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1231 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 114 m² it's 15.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £479,000 sits 72.6% above the 2009 sale of £277,500.
