About 208 Oxford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
208 Oxford Road is a mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 is 17.5% below the 2021 sale of £445,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£320/sq ft) was about 103.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 129 m² it's 28.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 36 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £445,000 in November 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 208 Oxford Road is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1AB. 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 208 Oxford Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 208 Oxford 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.

- Council tax band
- 208 Oxford 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.
