Overview

About 146 Elgar Road

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

146 Elgar Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.
