About 9 Balliol Road
9 Balliol Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7DT). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
6 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
