Overview

About Montagues

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

Montagues is a detached house in Burghfield, Reading, Reading (RG30 3TH). It has a recorded floor area of 277 m² (around 2982 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 277 m² the property is well over the postcode median (180 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,035,000 sits 354.9% above the 1995 sale of £227,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 76.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Montagues is modelled from its 277 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 3TH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Montagues. 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 Montagues was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Montagues. 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 4 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 3TH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Montagues is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
