Overview

About Flat

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

Flat is a mid-terrace house in Coventry (CV1 5DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. At 134 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–136 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 27 units on file.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 37.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 36.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
