Overview

About 20 Lambourne Road

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

20 Lambourne Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sonning Common, Reading, Reading (RG4 9LX). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £493,000 sits 55.3% above the 2010 sale of £317,500.
