Overview

About 23 Elgar Road

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

23 Elgar Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
