What stands out in the records

  • Mapped parks nearby

    The nearest mapped park is 0.1 km from the RG2 0 sector centre, with 11 mapped parks within 1 km. These are map counts and straight-line distances, not a measure of park quality or access routes.

  • Station and supermarket distances

    From the RG2 0 sector centre, the nearest mapped station is 2.8 km away and supermarket 0.1 km away in a straight line. These are not journey times.

Why this council area is shown

ONS boundaries dated December 2025 put the largest share of the mapped sector overlap in Reading, about 98%. This compares land area, not homes or addresses.

The boundaries cover about 100% of the stored sector shape. Coastlines, simplified boundaries and source dates can leave gaps or small overlaps. ONS boundary source, Open Government Licence v.3.0. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right 2025.

Recorded sales cover 2025; these medians are not current asking prices. Distances are straight lines between approximate sector centres, not travel routes. Missing values remain unknown.

How these comparisons were made

Sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. Suggestion reasons use the available sale medians, Ofcom January 2026 residential broadband availability, calculated as an unweighted mean of postcode percentages and undated OpenStreetMap station, supermarket and park locations. Distances to mapped places are also straight lines from approximate sector centres. A suggestion shares several measures with this sector; it is not a suitability score.

Sector sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. The guide shows standard residential transactions for 2025, grouped by property type, with at least five sales per published median. School locations were processed from Get Information about Schools with OpenStreetMap fallback where needed. Check current English school inspection reports with Ofsted. Recorded crime counts use Police.uk open data; the processed sector file does not retain an observation period.
