About 12 Chaucer Close

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

12 Chaucer Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Emmer Green, Reading, Reading (RG4 8PA). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year.
