About 31 Blenheim Road
31 Blenheim Road is a six-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 5NG). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).
It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £468,000 sits 169% above the 2008 sale of £174,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 25.2% below the postcode norm. At 123 m² it's 24.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 46 EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
