9 Highgrove Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 5EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2017 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 398.7% above the 1997 sale of £55,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 62.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
9 Highgrove Street's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
