Overview

About Garrard House

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

Garrard House is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 1NR). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 33 m² this is the 23rd 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 across 87 units on file. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2016–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 is 17.5% below the 2022 sale of £200,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. Most recent transfer: November 2022 at £200,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
