About 1 Meriden Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Meriden Street is a seven-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Coventry (CV1 4DL). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 209 m² the property is well over the postcode median (30 m² across 58 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £353,000 sits 96.1% above the 2010 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 47.5% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include tree works, subdivision, HMO conversion and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Meriden Street is modelled from its 209 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CV1 4DL. 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 1 Meriden Street. 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 1 Meriden Street was lodged in October 2014 at band E and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 1 Meriden Street. 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 40 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CV1 4DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Meriden Street is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
