About 61 Elgar Road
61 Elgar Road is a mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 sits 444.1% above the 1996 sale of £55,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 61.5% below the postcode norm. At 67 m² it's 16.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 20 EPCs).
