About 2 River Road
2 River Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 2NF). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area.
