Overview

About 3 Oatlands Road

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

3 Oatlands Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Shinfield, Reading, Reading (RG2 9DN). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 571 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in March 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 262.5% above the 1999 sale of £64,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 60.5% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
