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.
