Overview

About Caversham Place

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

Caversham Place is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 8BY). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 47 m² this is the 14th 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. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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. At 47 m² it's 24.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 45 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 is 15.9% above the 2007 sale price.
