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.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £778,000 is 35.3% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£328/sq ft) was about 23% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
