Overview

About 2 Albion Terrace

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

2 Albion Terrace is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 5BG). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 669 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 62 m² this is the 46th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1996–2000, sale prices on this property compounded at 25% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £258,000 sits 84.4% above the 2000 sale of £139,950. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Albion Terrace is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 5BG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 2 Albion Terrace. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Albion Terrace was lodged in December 2008 at band D and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Albion Terrace. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG1 5BG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Albion Terrace is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
