How the estimate is made
The estimate for First Floor is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1AY. 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.

About First Floor
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
First Floor is a detached house in Reading (RG30 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 62 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across 2005–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 24.7% above the 2015 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for First Floor is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1AY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for First Floor. 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 First Floor was lodged in November 2009 at band E and expired in November 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to First Floor. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 1AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
