Overview

About 5 Salisbury Road

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

5 Salisbury Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 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. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £309,000 is 47.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 46.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
