About 2 Ambury Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Ambury Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Aldworth, Reading, Reading (RG8 9TL). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £554,000 sits 465.3% above the 1996 sale of £98,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 51.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
