About 31 Caroline Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 Caroline Court is a detached house in Reading (RG1 6HW). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good.
