Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a five-bedroom detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 6NA). It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2239 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Across 2016–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,073,000 is 10.6% below the 2023 sale of £1,200,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£536/sq ft) was about 106.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 208 m² the property is well over the postcode median (152 m² across 46 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 10 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 6 refused.
