Overview

About 1 Greenwich Road

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

1 Greenwich Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shinfield, Reading, Reading (RG2 9FJ). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 62 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (62–152 m²). The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 13 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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 15.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
