Overview

About 25a

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

25a is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7AA). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 104 m² this is the 15th 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 across 18 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in November 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 328.9% above the 1996 sale of £90,000.
