Overview

About 23 Birdhill Avenue

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

23 Birdhill Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 7JT). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 734 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 84.9% above the 2009 sale of £192,000.
