About 8 Birdhill Avenue
8 Birdhill Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 7JT). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
