5 Alexander Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG1 7XZ). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 39 m² this is the 8th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–46 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
