Overview

About 5 Devitt Close

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

5 Devitt Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 8EF). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
