1 Meriden Street, Coventry, CV1 4DL

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 £403,000 sits 123.9% 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.
