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.

Overview

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.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 is 24.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£362/sq ft) was about 64.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 Lawrence Road is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 6BH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Lawrence 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 Lawrence Road was lodged in April 2013 at band E and expired in April 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 5 Lawrence 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 6BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Lawrence Road is in council tax band C. 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.
