About 208 Oxford Road
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). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 is 16.2% 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 102.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% 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.
