Overview

About 5 Purley Magna

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

5 Purley Magna is a two-bedroom detached house in Purley On Thames, Reading, Reading (RG8 8EL). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1131 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. At 105 m² this is the 5th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 88–515 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £536,000 is 34% above the 2007 sale price.
