Selling a house in Reading
Reading is a large Berkshire market with dense terraces, flats and suburban semis across several RG districts. University demand, Crossrail-era connectivity and a wide price band mean two streets a mile apart can sell on very different timelines.

- Should I use town-wide prices if I live in a village near Reading?
