About 15a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15a is an end-of-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7AA). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2012-2021. The latest certificate (July 2025) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in April 2016 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 52 m² this is the 7th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–116 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the top.
It hasn't traded since April 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 190% above the 1998 sale of £80,000. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 7AA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 15a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 15a was lodged in July 2025 at band B and is valid until July 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 7AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
