Overview

About 1 Charlotte Close

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

1 Charlotte Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7BY). It has a recorded floor area of 270 m² (around 2906 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 270 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,027,000 sits 120.9% above the 2009 sale of £465,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 48.3% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Charlotte Close is modelled from its 270 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 7BY. 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 1 Charlotte Close. 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 1 Charlotte Close was lodged in June 2026 at band C and is valid until June 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 1 Charlotte Close. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 7BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Charlotte Close is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
