Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 14 Francis Street is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 2QB. 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.

14 Francis Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 2QB). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 747 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 54% above the 2007 sale of £198,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 28.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).

Because the property was built before 1919, has been extended more than once, and has solid (non-cavity) walls, we believe a Level 3 building survey should be considered.
