Overview

About 266 Hyde End Road

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

266 Hyde End Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 266 Hyde End Road is modelled from its 163 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 1DL. 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 266 Hyde End 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 266 Hyde End Road was lodged in October 2013 at band E and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 266 Hyde End 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 1DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
266 Hyde End Road is in council tax band G. 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.
