The estimate for 2b is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1DB. 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 2b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The latest certificate (June 2026) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2011); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 24.3% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£361/sq ft) was about 97.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in January 2018 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.

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 2b is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1DB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2b. 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 2b was lodged in June 2026 at band F and is valid until June 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 2b. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 1DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2b is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
