About 28 Orts Road
28 Orts Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 3JN). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
Held since August 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. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 540.1% above the 1995 sale of £46,400. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 73.6% below the postcode norm.
