5 William Street, Rugby, CV21 3HA

5 William Street is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Rugby (CV21 3HA). It has a recorded floor area of 19 m² (around 202 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (April 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 19 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 is 10.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£620/sq ft) was about 549.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
