Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5HE). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. At 105 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (82–105 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 105 m² it's 28% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 27 EPCs). Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 is 44.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 20.6% below the postcode norm.

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 Flat 2 is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 5HE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in September 2024 at band D and is valid until September 2034. 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 Flat 2. 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 5HE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 2 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.
