About 3 Cressingham Road

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

3 Cressingham Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 7RS). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2020) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
