Overview

About 232 Elgar Road South

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

232 Elgar Road South is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 0BW). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 959 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £389,000 sits 85.3% above the 2007 sale of £209,950. At 89 m² it's 23.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 15 EPCs).
