Overview

About 130 Galsworthy Drive

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

130 Galsworthy Drive is a semi-detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 6QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 515% above the 1996 sale of £66,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 73.6% below the postcode norm.
