About 5 Culford Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Culford Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Lower Earley, Reading, Reading (RG6 3AS). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
