Overview

About 25 Cardiff Road

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

25 Cardiff Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 8ER). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 sits 96.6% above the 2013 sale of £179,000. At 83 m² it's 25.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 12 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). On the market in November 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
