How the estimate is made
The estimate for North Lodge is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 4LT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About North Lodge
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
North Lodge is a detached house in Aldermaston, Reading, Reading (RG7 4LT). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since June 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for North Lodge is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 4LT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. No sale is recorded for North Lodge, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for North Lodge was lodged in June 2012 at band F and expired in June 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to North Lodge. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 4LT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- North Lodge is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
