Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a detached house in Reading (RG30 2LY). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

Held since December 2007 — that's 19 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. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £359,000 is 45.9% above the 2007 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 2LY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in November 2016 at band E and expired in November 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 2. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 2LY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
