Overview

About 1 Luscinia View

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

1 Luscinia View is a two-bedroom detached house in Reading (RG1 8AB). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 73 m² this is the 44th smallest of 54 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 63–146 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.
