About 19 Alexandra Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
19 Alexandra Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG1 5PE). It has a recorded floor area of 257 m² (around 2766 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump.
At 257 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 43 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
