Overview

About 1 Blagdon Road

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

1 Blagdon Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 7NR). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2019 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor.

Held since March 2008 — that's 18 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. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 20.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 64.4% above the 2008 sale of £205,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).
