Overview

About Forbury View

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

Forbury View is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 1PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 59 m² this is the 11th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in Forbury View, where floor areas span 44–94 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2018. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 59 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 13 EPCs).

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 Forbury View is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 1PJ. 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 Forbury View. 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 Forbury View was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 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 Forbury View. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG1 1PJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Forbury View 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.
