Overview

About 18 Ashmore Road

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

18 Ashmore Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG2 8AG). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

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