Overview

About 28 Star Road

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

28 Star Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5BG). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since January 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £425,000 sits 102.4% above the 2011 sale of £210,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
