Overview

About 5 Elizabeth Mews

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

5 Elizabeth Mews is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 532 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 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. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 11.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£300/sq ft) was about 23.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
