Overview

About 6 Brading Way

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

6 Brading Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Purley On Thames, Reading, Reading (RG8 8BS). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2017) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 sits 100.9% above the 2009 sale of £239,950. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
