Overview

About Caversham Place

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

Caversham Place is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 8BY). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 62 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 46 units on EPC record in Caversham Place, where floor areas span 44–81 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 46 units on file.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 is 17.6% above the 2007 sale price.
