Overview

About Beech Hill House

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

Beech Hill House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Beech Hill, Reading, Reading (RG7 2BE). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 81 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Beech Hill House, where floor areas span 39–150 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D across 6 units on file.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (136 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 is 17.6% above the 2007 sale price.
