Overview

About 19a

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

19a is a semi-detached house in Coventry (CV1 2LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 41 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in 19a, where floor areas span 22–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 4 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 is 18.8% below the 2016 sale of £170,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (162 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 10 years since the last transfer (December 2016). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
