Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a four-bedroom detached house in Reading (RG1 5PE). It has a recorded floor area of 213 m² (around 2293 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows a C (score 74).

Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
