Overview

About 1 Church Mews

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

1 Church Mews is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Purley On Thames, Reading, Reading (RG8 8AG). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good.
