About 2 Franklin Street
2 Franklin Street is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 7YA). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 278.2% above the 2000 sale of £82,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 57.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
