Overview

About 65a

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

65a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG1 5RA). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. At 33 m² this is the 8th smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–268 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 36 units on file. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 8 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £603,000 is 24.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,361/sq ft) was about 391.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 65a is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 5RA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 65a. 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 65a was lodged in October 2016 at band D and expired in October 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 8 applications are matched to 65a. 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 5RA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
65a is in council tax band E. 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.
