Overview

About 222 Oxford Road

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

222 Oxford Road is a mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 16 m² (around 172 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 16 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (16–177 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (77 versus a worst of 17). The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in January 2021 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 is 60.4% below the 2021 sale of £500,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,903/sq ft) was about 1742.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 16 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: May 2021 at £500,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 222 Oxford Road is modelled from its 16 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 222 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
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 222 Oxford Road was lodged in September 2022 at band C and is valid until September 2032. 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 222 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. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 1AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
222 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.
