About 52 Briants Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
52 Briants Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 52 Briants Avenue is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 5AS. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 52 Briants Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 52 Briants Avenue was lodged in July 2013 at band D and expired in July 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 52 Briants Avenue. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 5AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 52 Briants Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
