Overview

About 28 Armadale Court

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

28 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 1976-1982 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. 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 across 71 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 sits 61.6% above the 2009 sale of £125,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs).
