About 18 Eldon Street
18 Eldon Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 4EA). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2018) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
