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 £230,000 sits 259.4% 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 (129 m² across 37 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Oatlands Road is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 9DN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 3 Oatlands Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Oatlands Road was lodged in March 2010 at band C and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Oatlands Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG2 9DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Oatlands Road is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
