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 £526,000 sits 81.4% above the 2009 sale of £290,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 24 Badgers Rise is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 7QA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 24 Badgers Rise. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 24 Badgers Rise was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 24 Badgers Rise. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 7QA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
24 Badgers Rise is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
