Overview

About 14 Purley Magna

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

14 Purley Magna is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Purley On Thames, Reading, Reading (RG8 8EL). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).

Held since February 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 is 38.3% above the 2008 sale price.
