About 8 Lincoln Road
8 Lincoln Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0EX). 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. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good 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 B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 (82 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £420,000 sits 107.9% above the 2007 sale of £202,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 25.9% below the postcode norm.
