Local market context
Berins Ridge is a semi-detached house in Lower Basildon, Reading, Reading (RG8 9NN). It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2164 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
