Overview

About 17 Melville Road

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

17 Melville Road is a mid-terrace house in Coventry (CV1 3AN). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 206 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 102.9% above the 2007 sale of £137,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 52.7% below the postcode norm.
