Overview

About 12 Armadale Court

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

12 Armadale Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG30 2DF). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on electricity. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 58 m² this is the 30th smallest of 71 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (43 versus a best of 82).

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Last sold in July 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 is 36.8% above the 2012 sale price.
