Overview

About 5 Alston Walk

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

5 Alston Walk is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5DD). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 381.1% above the 1998 sale of £71,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 58.9% below the postcode norm.
