Overview

About 8 Badgers Rise

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

8 Badgers Rise is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7QA). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 sits 88.6% above the 2008 sale of £185,000. At 79 m² it's 16% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 14 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs).
