Overview

About 34 Briants Avenue

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

34 Briants Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since March 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 470% above the 1996 sale of £60,000.
