Overview

About 4 Chestnut Avenue

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

4 Chestnut Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 6NS). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 1999–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 sits 61.5% above the 2013 sale of £262,500.
