24 Caroline Court, Bath Road, Reading, RG1 6HW

24 Caroline Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG1 6HW). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (May 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 74 m² this is the 24th 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, with this unit at the bottom.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 is 27.1% above the 2008 sale price.
