10 Ivydene Road, Reading, RG30 1HT

10 Ivydene Road is a semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 1HT). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 47 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 59% above the 2007 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm.
