About Cardwell House

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

Cardwell House is a detached house in Upper Basildon, Reading, Reading (RG8 8LN). It has a recorded floor area of 312 m² (around 3358 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on oil.

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 312 m² the property is well over the postcode median (240 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,171,000 is 44.6% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
