How the estimate is made
The estimate for 14d is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1HT. 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 14d
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14d is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 1HT). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 992 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 47 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 is 13.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£267/sq ft) was about 24.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2021 for £265,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 14d is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 1HT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 14d. 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 14d was lodged in August 2011 at band C and expired in August 2021, 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 14d. 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 1HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14d 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.
