About 75 Catherine Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
75 Catherine Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1DG). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–115 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 37 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
Held since February 1999 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 75 Catherine Street is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 75 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

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 75 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.

- Council tax band
- 75 Catherine Street is in council tax band A. 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.
