Overview

About 6b

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

6b is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5EY). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). At 63 m² this is the 49th smallest of 58 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–380 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 58 units on file.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 63 m² it's 26% larger than the typical home in the postcode (50 m² median across 57 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 is 25% above the 2007 sale price.

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 6b is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 5EY. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 6b. 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 6b was lodged in May 2020 at band D and is valid until May 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 6b. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 5EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6b is in council tax band D. 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.
