Overview

About 5 Garnet Street

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

5 Garnet Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 6BA). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 655 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 sits 78.7% above the 2009 sale of £155,000.
