Overview

About Garrard House

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

Garrard House is a detached house in Reading (RG1 1NR). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012-2021 and council tax band C. At 48 m² this is the 73rd smallest of 87 units on EPC record in Garrard House, where floor areas span 29–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (63 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £152,000 is 35.3% below the 2016 sale of £235,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£455/sq ft) was about 19.2% below the postcode norm. At 48 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 86 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On the market in June 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Garrard House is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 1NR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Garrard House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Garrard House was lodged in February 2026 at band D and is valid until February 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Garrard House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG1 1NR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Garrard House is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
