About 13 Baydon Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Baydon Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG1 6JB). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
