About 19 Hill Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
19 Hill Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 2NU). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 60 m² it's 20% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 36 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 is 17.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£434/sq ft) was about 114.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in August 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 19 Hill Street is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 2NU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 19 Hill Street. 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 19 Hill Street was lodged in May 2016 at band C and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 19 Hill Street. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG1 2NU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 19 Hill Street is in council tax band B. 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.
