Overview

About 81 Amersham Road

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

81 Amersham Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5BP). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
