About 16 Blenheim Terrace
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Blenheim Terrace is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 7ST). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 36 m² this is the 6th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–41 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a C (score 72).
Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 38.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 21.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Blenheim Terrace is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 7ST. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 16 Blenheim Terrace. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 16 Blenheim Terrace was lodged in December 2018 at band C and is valid until December 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Blenheim Terrace. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG1 7ST, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Blenheim Terrace is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
