About 22 Francis Street
22 Francis Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 2QB). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.
Last sale on file: £305,000 in August 2021. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
