About Magnolia House

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

Magnolia House is a detached house in Upper Basildon, Reading, Reading (RG8 8LN). It has a recorded floor area of 268 m² (around 2885 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
