About 222 Oxford Road
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 £197,000 is 60.6% 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 1731.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 16 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% 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.
