Overview

About 17 Ash Road

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

17 Ash Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tilehurst, Reading, Reading (RG30 4SG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 sits 81.3% above the 2012 sale of £182,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 37.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
