Overview

About Durham House

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

Durham House is an end-of-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 948 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 88 m² this is the 9th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in Durham House, where floor areas span 48–88 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.

It hasn't traded since August 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. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 is 17.7% above the 2009 sale price.
