How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 7AU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 7AU). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1137 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 106 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (61–106 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (62 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 7AU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Flat 1. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 1 was lodged in November 2011 at band D and expired in November 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 1. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG2 7AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
