About 3 Thames Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Thames Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 8QT). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 698 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony.
Held since July 1998 — that's 28 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 £318,000 sits 140% above the 1998 sale of £132,495. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 15.3% below the postcode norm.
