Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is an end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£353/sq ft) was about 123% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
