280 Newbold Road, Rugby, CV21 1EG

280 Newbold Road is a mid-terrace house in Rugby (CV21 1EG). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (July 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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 64 m² it's 22% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 25 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. An application is currently awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 is 46.1% above the 2007 sale price.
