8a, Flat, Adelaide Street, Coventry, CV1 5GT
About 8a
8a is a mid-terrace house in Coventry (CV1 5GT). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 34 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (34–44 m²). The latest certificate (April 2019) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since January 1997 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 276.7% above the 1997 sale of £30,000. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
