Overview

About 16 Bourne Avenue

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

16 Bourne Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 0DU). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since May 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 £401,000 sits 78.2% above the 2009 sale of £225,000.
