Overview

About 5 Amblecote Road

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

5 Amblecote Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Tilehurst, Reading, Reading (RG30 4BS). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). At 42 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–76 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 17 units on file.

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 42 m² it's 20.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 16 EPCs). Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 40% above the 2008 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 5 Amblecote Road is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 4BS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Amblecote Road. 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 5 Amblecote Road was lodged in December 2018 at band D and is valid until December 2028. 2 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 5 Amblecote Road. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 4BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Amblecote Road is in council tax band B. 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.
