About 1 Greenwich Road

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 (62–146 m²). The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a C (score 73).

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.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Greenwich Road is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 9FJ. 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 1 Greenwich 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 1 Greenwich Road was lodged in October 2020 at band C and is valid until October 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Greenwich 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG2 9FJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Greenwich Road is in council tax band C. 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.
