Overview

About 69 Catherine Street

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

69 Catherine Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1DG). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 sits 61.3% above the 2013 sale of £163,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 24% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 69 Catherine Street is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1DG. 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 69 Catherine 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 69 Catherine Street was lodged in October 2012 at band D and expired in October 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 69 Catherine 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 1DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
69 Catherine Street is in council tax band C. 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.
