Overview

About 59a

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

59a is a semi-detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7RT). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 558 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 52 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (52–267 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (114 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£444/sq ft) was about 45.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £248,000 in March 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 59a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 7RT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 59a. 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 59a was lodged in September 2010 at band D and expired in September 2020, 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 59a. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 7RT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
59a is in council tax band B. 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.
