Overview

About 2 Cumberland Road

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

2 Cumberland Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 3LB). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 87.7% above the 2007 sale of £155,000. 10 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
