About 1 Birds Lane

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

1 Birds Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Midgham, Reading, Reading (RG7 5UL). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £516,000 is 35.8% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£380/sq ft) was about 36.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
