About 1 Granby Gardens
1 Granby Gardens is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 5RT). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2010.

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 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 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 58 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 sits 80% above the 2007 sale of £199,959.
