About 53 Albany Road

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

53 Albany Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 2UL). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
