Overview

About 4 Melville Road

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

4 Melville Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Coventry (CV1 3AN). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–206 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 22 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 is 25.9% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£267/sq ft) was about 104.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.
