How the estimate is made
The estimate for 456 Oxford Road is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1EE. 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.

About 456 Oxford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
456 Oxford Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1EE). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 801 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 sits 68% above the 2016 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 20.3% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 456 Oxford Road is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1EE. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 456 Oxford Road. 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 456 Oxford Road was lodged in February 2009 at band D and expired in February 2019, 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 456 Oxford Road. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 1EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 456 Oxford Road is in council tax band B. 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.
