How the estimate is made
The estimate for Mercia House is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CV1 1NQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Mercia House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Mercia House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Coventry (CV1 1NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. At 47 m² this is the 18th smallest of 48 units on EPC record in Mercia House, where floor areas span 31–49 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 48 units on file.
It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 sits 110.3% above the 2009 sale of £58,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Mercia House is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CV1 1NQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Mercia House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Mercia House was lodged in May 2024 at band D and is valid until May 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Mercia House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 42 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CV1 1NQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Mercia House is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
