Flat 1 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 2PU). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 42 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–45 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69).
At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 53 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold March 2022 for £186,500. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2006–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£413/sq ft) was about 78.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
