About 18 Dover Street
18 Dover Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 6AX). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
