5 Tanfields, Vachel Road, Reading, RG1 1NX
About 5 Tanfields
5 Tanfields is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 1NX). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 72 m² this is the 11th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–135 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 14 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 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.
