About 355a
355a is a one-bedroom property in Reading (RG30 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 321 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 30 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 15–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (32 versus a best of 69). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 sits 185.5% above the 1997 sale of £55,000. At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (46 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs).
