About 18 Chesterman Street

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

18 Chesterman Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 2PR). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
