About 4 Melville Road
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.
