Overview

About 9 Blenheim Terrace

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

9 Blenheim Terrace is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 7ST). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 38 m² this is the 8th 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 bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (47 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (July 2022) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2012); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 15.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£364/sq ft) was about 70.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 9 Blenheim Terrace is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for 9 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 9 Blenheim Terrace was lodged in July 2022 at band E and is valid until July 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 9 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
9 Blenheim Terrace is in council tax band B. 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.
