About 14 Dorothy Street
14 Dorothy Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 2NL). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2018 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
