1 Fern Cottages is a detached house in Padworth Common, Reading, Reading (RG7 4QH). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last sold in February 2013, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Today's modelled estimate of £619,000 is 44% above the 2013 sale price.
