Overview

About 12 Hirstwood

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

12 Hirstwood is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tilehurst, Reading, Reading (RG30 6NF). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 is 19.5% above the 2021 sale price.
