Overview

About 18 Flowers Piece

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

18 Flowers Piece is a semi-detached house in Ashampstead, Reading, Reading (RG8 8SG). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 101), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
