Overview

About 5 Baron Court

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

5 Baron Court is a semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 2BP). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (July 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Baron Court is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG30 2BP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Baron Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Baron Court was lodged in June 2026 at band F and is valid until June 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Baron Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG30 2BP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Baron Court is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
