About 3 Mill Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Mill Lane is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Padworth, Reading, Reading (RG7 4JU). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2010–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 sits 55.2% above the 2012 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£355/sq ft) was about 38.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (117 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in November 2012.

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 3 Mill Lane is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 4JU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Mill Lane. 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 3 Mill Lane was lodged in August 2012 at band D and expired in August 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to 3 Mill Lane. 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 3 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 4JU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Mill Lane is in council tax band C. 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.
