About 16 Cardiff Road
16 Cardiff Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 8ET). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 sits 65.2% above the 2007 sale of £221,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 38.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
