Overview

About 12 Bourne Avenue

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

12 Bourne Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 0DU). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £391,000 sits 93.6% above the 2009 sale of £202,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 17.2% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12 Bourne Avenue is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG2 0DU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 12 Bourne Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 12 Bourne Avenue was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 12 Bourne Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG2 0DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Bourne Avenue is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
