About 5 Lawrence Road

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

5 Lawrence Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tilehurst, Reading, Reading (RG30 6BH). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
