Overview

About 12 St Johns Road

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

12 St Johns Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 4EB). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement and a loft. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £317,000 in May 2019. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 91 m² it's 21.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 29 EPCs). Across 1997–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year.
