About 16 Baydon Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Baydon Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Reading (RG1 6JB). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 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 £466,000 sits 75.9% above the 2009 sale of £264,950.
