Overview

About 5 Cherwell Crescent

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Cherwell Crescent is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 7NB). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. At 43 m² this is the 4th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–47 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a C (score 74). Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 35.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 56.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Cherwell Crescent is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 7NB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Cherwell Crescent. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Cherwell Crescent was lodged in January 2020 at band C and is valid until January 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Cherwell Crescent. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG1 7NB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Cherwell Crescent is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
