Overview

About 5 Charlotte Close

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

5 Charlotte Close is a detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7BY). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2103 sq ft) and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2010) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2008 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
