About 22 Beta House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

22 Beta House is a semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 26 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (26–51 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
