About 12 Sherwood Street
12 Sherwood Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 1LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 66.2% above the 2008 sale of £186,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 20.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
