About 307 Oxford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
307 Oxford Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 48 m² this is the 12th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–107 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 15 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 48 m² it's 17.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (41 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 23.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£242/sq ft) was about 23.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
