Overview

About 79 Salisbury Road

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

79 Salisbury Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1BW). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 70.3% above the 2007 sale of £185,000.
