41 Dunrose Close, Coventry, CV2 5PF

41 Dunrose Close is a mid-terrace house in Coventry (CV2 5PF). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), 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 July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 27 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. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 sits 148.6% above the 2007 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 34.1% below the postcode norm.
