About 5 Farley Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Farley Court is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Farley Hill, Reading, Reading (RG7 1TT). It has a recorded floor area of 294 m² (around 3165 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views and a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 294 m² the property is well over the postcode median (155 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £734,000 sits 76.9% above the 2009 sale of £415,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 51.7% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 4 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Farley Court is modelled from its 294 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 1TT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Farley Court. 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 Farley Court was lodged in March 2025 at band F and is valid until March 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 5 Farley Court. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 1TT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Farley Court is in council tax band F. 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.
