Overview

About 22 Orts Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

22 Orts Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 3JN). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 909 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 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 56).

Held since September 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
