About 15a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15a is a three-bedroom detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 6NA). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).
Held since August 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
