Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale 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.

Flat 3 has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.

Flat 3 is a semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (29–42 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (54 versus a best of 61). The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
