About 25 Fernbrook Road

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

25 Fernbrook Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7HG). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £938,000 is 21.8% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£371/sq ft) was about 37.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
