Overview

About 24 Badgers Rise

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

24 Badgers Rise is a detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7QA). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1290 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £589,000 sits 103.1% above the 2009 sale of £290,000.
