About 23 Donnington Road
23 Donnington Road is a six-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 5NE). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £499,000 sits 117% above the 2009 sale of £230,000.
