About 18 Caroline Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Caroline Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG1 6HW). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. At 77 m² this is the 42nd smallest of 48 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 64–85 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 48 units on file.
Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £222,000 sits 58.6% above the 2009 sale of £140,000.
