Overview

About 16 Star Road

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

16 Star Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1015 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 sits 104.5% above the 2009 sale of £198,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Star Road is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 5BS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Star Road. 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 16 Star Road was lodged in January 2009 at band G and expired in January 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Star Road. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 5BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Star Road 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.
