About 6 Mellor Walk
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Mellor Walk is a mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 1997 — that's 29 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 £342,000 sits 533.3% above the 1997 sale of £54,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 77.6% below the postcode norm. At 101 m² it's 15.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 10 EPCs).

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 6 Mellor Walk is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 0AQ. 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 6 Mellor Walk. 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 6 Mellor Walk was lodged in June 2016 at band C and expired in June 2026, 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. None is matched to 6 Mellor Walk. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG2 0AQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Mellor Walk is in council tax band C. 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.
