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 19 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.
