Local market context
Flat 2 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 6DS). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 52 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (February 2016) 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 October 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 is 38.7% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 18.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
