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 (June 2019) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. 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.

Held since June 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.
