Overview

About 16 Axbridge Road

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

16 Axbridge Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 7NS). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 106.1% above the 2009 sale of £148,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 33.6% below the postcode norm.
