Overview

About 23 Valentia Road

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

23 Valentia Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1DH). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 sits 143.6% above the 2003 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 38.7% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 104 m² it's 23.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 32 EPCs).
