About 4 Curzon Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Curzon Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1DB). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 438 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 41 m² this is the 11th smallest of 45 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–119 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (72 versus a worst of 1). The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in December 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 285.5% above the 1995 sale of £41,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 49% below the postcode norm. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 44 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.

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 4 Curzon Street is modelled from its 41 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 4 Curzon Street. 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 4 Curzon Street was lodged in November 2008 at band C and expired in November 2018, 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. 1 application is matched to 4 Curzon Street. 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.
