Overview

About 4a

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

4a is a four-bedroom detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 217 m² (around 2336 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 217 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £867,000 sits 65.1% above the 2014 sale of £525,000. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
