Overview

About 9 Bedford Road

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

9 Bedford Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG1 7EU). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 54 m² this is the 4th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2012. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 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. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £234,000 is 33.7% above the 2008 sale price.
