Overview

About 2 Garnet Street

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

2 Garnet Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 6BA). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 is 28.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£338/sq ft) was about 55.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
