Overview

About 4 Valentia Road

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

4 Valentia Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 80 m² it's 20.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 12 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 is 15.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 39.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: September 2021 at £260,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
