Overview

About 14 Reading Road

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

14 Reading Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lower Basildon, Reading, Reading (RG8 9NG). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a G (score 15), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2011); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in March 2001. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
