About 167 Oxford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
167 Oxford Road is a mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 7UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1142 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 is 25.4% below the 2019 sale of £390,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£341/sq ft) was about 39.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 71 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 8 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 0 refused. Sold February 2019 for £390,000.

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 167 Oxford Road is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 7UZ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 167 Oxford Road. 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 167 Oxford Road was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 8 applications are matched to 167 Oxford Road. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG1 7UZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 167 Oxford Road 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.
