About 16 Cooper Close

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

16 Cooper Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG2 8NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since August 2009.
