Overview

About 53 Amersham Road

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

53 Amersham Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5BP). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £397,000 sits 572.9% above the 1996 sale of £59,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 75.6% below the postcode norm. At 105 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 22 EPCs).
