About 18 Chester Street
18 Chester Street is a semi-detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 8JH). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 952 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £408,000 sits 63.2% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
