About 108 Elgar Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
108 Elgar Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 38 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 sits 66.4% above the 2007 sale of £249,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 20% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2025.

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 108 Elgar Road is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales 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. 5 sales are recorded for 108 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 108 Elgar Road was lodged in September 2025 at band D and is valid until September 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 108 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
- 108 Elgar Road 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.
