1 Stone Street, Reading, RG30 1HU

1 Stone Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1HU). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 119.7% above the 2009 sale of £142,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 15.8% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
