About 9 Elgar Road

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

9 Elgar Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2018) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
