Overview

About 3 St Johns Road

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

3 St Johns Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 4EB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 58), 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 January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. 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 £373,000 is 49.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 24% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
