Overview

About 5 Eldon Street

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

5 Eldon Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 4EA). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2002–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 58.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 99.4% above the 2002 sale of £159,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 23.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
