About 508 Oxford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
508 Oxford Road is a mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.

Today's modelled estimate of £327,000 is 90.4% below the 2024 sale of £3,415,550, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.

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 508 Oxford Road is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1EF. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 508 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 508 Oxford Road was lodged in June 2026 at band C and is valid until June 2036. 8 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 508 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 1EF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 508 Oxford Road 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.
