About 204 Oxford Road
204 Oxford Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 53 m² this is the 7th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–177 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 37 units on file.
Held since December 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£377/sq ft) was about 139.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
