How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 6 is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1BY. 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 Flat 6
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 6 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 1BY). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. At 55 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (55–69 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (69 versus a worst of 22). The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 is 37.3% above the 2013 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat 6 is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1BY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Flat 6. 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 Flat 6 was lodged in September 2012 at band C and expired in September 2022, 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 Flat 6. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 1BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
