About 5 Beechwood Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Beechwood Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sonning Common, Reading, Reading (RG4 9RE). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2019) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. At 46 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 sits 53.1% above the 2014 sale of £160,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
