About 106 Elgar Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
106 Elgar Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–128 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since August 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 38 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 106 Elgar Road is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 0BN. 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 106 Elgar Road. 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 106 Elgar Road was lodged in September 2022 at band E and is valid until September 2032. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 106 Elgar Road. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG2 0BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 106 Elgar Road is in council tax band B. 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.
