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. Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 sits 61.6% above the 2011 sale of £112,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£267/sq ft) was about 103.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Melville Road is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CV1 3AN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Melville Road. 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 4 Melville Road was lodged in August 2012 at band D and expired in August 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Melville Road. 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 39 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CV1 3AN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
