About 124 Elgar Road
124 Elgar Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 is 35.6% above the 2007 sale price.
