About 16 Salisbury Road

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

16 Salisbury Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).
